Nothing sinks a remote project team faster than micromanagement. It sends the message that you don\u2019t trust your remote team to do their jobs.\u00a0<\/span>In fact, an HBR study found that 34% of employees said that their supervisors blatantly showed a <\/span>\u201clack of confidence\u201d <\/span><\/a>in their work skills. This creates a recipe for burnout and ruins morale and productivity.<\/span><\/p>\n

The negative connection between <\/span>micromanagement and employee well-being<\/span><\/a> is so strong that people who experienced \u201chigh levels of close monitoring and a strong belief that their supervisor does not trust them\u201d had more anxiety when working. Yikes.<\/span><\/p>\n

As Forbes senior contributor Heidi Lynne Kurter writes, <\/span>micromanagement<\/span><\/a> is \u201cdefeating, disempowering, and frustrating.\u201d Who can actually focus and do their best work when consistently dealing with those negative feelings?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, we get that it seems harder to stay in the loop on a project when your team is working remotely\u2014but micromanaging isn\u2019t an effective or sustainable solution. To foster a positive, productive remote work environment, focus on striking a healthy balance between preserving your remote team members\u2019 autonomy and staying connected.<\/span><\/p>\n
