Description

Every day I hear the same concern from business owners and leaders - I want to give feedback and set expectations, but I don't want to come across as a micromanager. If you've shared this same concern, you're not alone. But today I'm going to let you in on a little secret: micromanaging is not about WHAT, it's about WHEN.
In today's episode, I talk about how the timing of corrective feedback tends to a bigger issue than the feedback itself, and how establishing expectations up front is game-changing to your team getting aligned without feeling micromanaged.
