Description

"Stop micromanaging" has become the go-to excuse to avoid structure, standards, and accountability. In this episode, Jason flips that script and makes the case that what most people call micromanagement is actually either bad leadership or good training.ย 

In this episode you will learn

  • Why "micromanaging" is often a lazy label for cowboy behavior and resistance to systems?

  • The real problem behind most micromanagement complaints: unclear expectations and bad leadership, not too much leadership.

  • How masters actually teach using the EDGE method: explain, demonstrate, guide, enable?

  • Why nobody calls it micromanagement when a pro like Stephen Curry breaks down your stance, footwork, and follow-through?

  • How different leadership styles (directive, collaborative, consensus, hands-off) are each crucial at different phases of team development?

If you've ever wondered where the line is between helpful coaching and "micromanaging," this episode will redraw it in a way that actually serves your people and your projects.
