Structured Independence Meetings

When micromanagement is a challenge, it often stems from a lack of trust or a need for control. By setting up structured, regular check-in meetings, you can provide transparency on your progress, address concerns proactively, and demonstrate your reliability. Over time, this approach reduces the perceived need for constant oversight, creating a more empowering work environment for you and showing your manager that you’re both aligned and accountable.
