My particular management style is the opposite of micromanaging.
I prefer to give individuals the tools and training to get the job done.
Here is the trick or key to managing successfully with this style: you
must find the right people with the right mental makeup to handle this
management style. Some people are very productive when they have
someone watching over their shoulder. They need constant attention to
perform at a high level. Managing less requires finding the absolutely
right kind of person to make your job easier or more fulfilling .Some
folks love the day-to-day grind of managing underachievers, but
remember – executive level thinkers have too many important tasks to
waste time on lazy people. “The hand of the diligent will rule, But the
lazy man/slothful will be put to forced labor.” (Proverbs 12:24)
