Listen to Beverley Lockett as she explains why most first time managers struggle with keeping control over their projects and resort to micromanaging and ‘nagging’ their team. Unfortunately it’s not only first time managers who resort to micromanaging and nag, some managers think it is the only way to achieve results is to manage and control every detail of a project - they believe that is their role as a manager. It’s exhausting to attempt to control every aspect of a project when you have a team working on it, managers have to learn to let go and trust.
