Definitely, Maybe Agile

Transparency vs. Micromanagement


Listen Later

In this episode of Definitely Maybe Agile, Peter Maddison and David Sharrock tackle the delicate balance between work transparency and micromanagement, particularly in hybrid work environments. They explore how breaking down work effectively, building trust between leaders and teams, and maintaining healthy communication patterns can create a more productive workplace. The hosts discuss why detailed task breakdowns aren't about control but rather about creating clarity and confidence for all stakeholders involved.

This week´s takeaways: 

  •  Effective work relationships require trust flowing both ways between leadership and teams.
  • Breaking down work into smaller, measurable pieces isn't about micromanagement – it's about creating clarity, enabling better learning, and building confidence in progress.
  • Leaders need to be mindful of how they request updates and information.

 Listen in for actionable ideas and engaging perspectives that will help you build stronger, more accountable teams.
