Many times I asked myself, “Why did they give me the responsibility if they’re going to question every decision I make?” The truth is that while I was occasionally micromanaged, my colleagues often had legitimate concerns, better ideas, or were jus trying to better understand my reasoning. New managers often grumble about how all the meetings and e-mails make their job harder without realizing that, to a large extent, communication is their job.
Mara nyingi nilijiuliza, “”Kwa nini wao nipe jukumu kama wao wanaenda kuhoji kila uamuzi mimi kufanya?”” Ukweli ni kwamba wakati mimi nilikuwa mara kwa mara micromanaged, wenzangu mara nyingi alikuwa na wasiwasi halali, mawazo bora, au walikuwa jus kujaribu kuelewa hoja yangu. New mameneja mara nyingi kunung’unika kuhusu jinsi mikutano yote na barua pepe kufanya kazi zao kuwa ngumu bila kutambua kwamba, kwa kiasi kikubwa, mawasiliano ni kazi yao. Mapema, kujifunza si kwa aibu mbali mjadala au alisimama kwa mawazo yako.
