Follow up

Follow up

When you delegate a project to a team member, trust that person to get it done — but verify. People appreciate being left alone to do the work, but don’t leave them alone.
Follow up occasionally at set milestones to ensure everything is progressing on schedule and encourage them to reach out to you any time with challenges. It’s counterproductive to have things done incorrectly, so make sure you’re both on the same page.

Don’t micromanage

Checking up on people repeatedly, day after day, or standing over them watching them work does not fall under the heading of “following up ” — that’s micromanagement. You’re wasting their time and yours, and it makes people nervous and less productive.
Your title is “Manager,” or :Driver" or " Crew Chief" not “Dictator.” You facilitate the business of the team; you don’t do it all yourself or waste time watching other people do it.
