Course overview
Managers who care deeply about their teams often develop habits that quietly undermine them. Overinvolvement in daily tasks like reviewing every draft, requiring constant updates, and redirecting decisions employees could make themselves erodes trust and stalls performance. Recognizing those patterns and replacing them with a delegation-centered approach can transform how a team operates.
