Controlling how work gets done only makes your company slower. Employees will inevitably do things that make you cringe, take different approaches than you, and sometimes even truly mess up. But it’s rare that the best answer is to try to control their process.
Thanks for this, Molly- you conveyed so clearly what I work with leaders on all the time. Being great at sharing a clear and compelling 'What' is so important in helping people develop ownership over their work and learn to solve problems on their own. Plus, it frees up the leader to think about bigger, more strategic things.
Love this articulation of what vs how. Will definitely be bringing this up with my manager!
