Micromanagement

  • Try to figure out the underlying reason for micromanaging that person. Go after the problem.

Feedback

  • 4 positive feedbacks to one negative

Positive feedback: be specific

Negative Feedback

  • Always make it about the person's behavior, not about the person

Feedback should be continual!
