Therefore, do not micromanage, or become involved in how your staff carries out every detail of their approach to work. This may not seem that important, but it is. As long as the people in your office know what your five-year plan is and how each person fits into the organization, then they will know what will be expected of them to help the agency arrive at the desired objective. All people have different motivations that enable them to achieve their best. When you micromanage you create unnecessary fear in employees.
Many managers confuse fear and motivation.
It will be up to each of them to figure out how best to accomplish the task. People are very clever and they will find a way. They will sit down and figure out individually what they must accomplish each week or month in doing their part for the five-year plan. Then you are ready to begin another five-year plan. The bottom line To help your agency succeed, you need to take the time to develop your overall goals.
