When trusting your employees, they are more likely to work their full potential and perform better. If the management is not trusting the employee, it hurts the employee morale, which will turn into lower productivity. Which is why the hiring process of hiring an employee is very important. Whether you do the recruitment yourself or through a professional recruitment agency. You must ensure that you choose the right people to grow your company and to make a positive impact. It is up to the management to take a step back and show confidence in the employees that they have hired. 

2. Independent employees 

Micromanagement is harmful to both employees and managers. Managers will waste a lot of valuable time on supervising, instead of spending time on leading the employees. In the same time the employees lose their productivity and they start to believe that they need the management approval for every activity. Making them unlikely to think of any creative solutions to problems by themselves. If you trust in your employees, they are more likely to be more independent, creative and bring better value to the company.

Be risk-averse

In general, it is important for top executives to be willing to take chances. If you always choose the safe way, the company may be present for many years, but it will not develop. It can be important to trust your gut feeling and the experience you have when making the big decisions.

Prioritize your time
