It takes an honest person to admit that they overcontrol<\/strong> at work. Maybe you know someone who has received this feedback? Maybe someone has confided in you that their team are not working at their best? They may have even suggested that their overcontrolling style of micro-management<\/a> could be contributing to this?<\/p>\n

One thing is for sure, not many staff find it motivating or helpful. Luckily, an answer to overcontrolling can be to develop a coaching style of management<\/strong>. This involves learning how to ask questions rather than issuing an instruction, or even more abrasive, continually checking on an individual\u2019s progress. A coaching style of management is a better alternative to explore.<\/p>\n

How can a coaching style be helpful?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at how to delegate a task. It\u2019s tempting to just tell your team-mate what you want done, when by, and to describe the resources that will be available.<\/p>\n

However, put yourself in their shoes. Rather than be told exactly<\/u> how to do something, how much more motivated would you be to discover for yourself a more efficient, more creative or more satisfying way of completing the task?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the rub. What makes you happy, probably does the opposite for your team member. What helps you to feel in control, probably makes them feel demotivated and small. Your grand plan to develop your staff to do more may be falling apart with each passing second.<\/p>\n
