[00:00:00]You have seven people in the team, seven pairs of hands, but only one brain still running. Yours.

[00:00:07]And it is overheating.

[00:00:09]>> That's brutal, but it explains something managers say all the time.

[00:00:13]My team lacks autonomy.

[00:00:16]>> No, your team lacks necessity. You removed the necessity to think.

[00:00:21]And then you complained they stopped thinking.

[00:00:24]>> So, the manager creates the exact problem he complains about.

[00:00:28]>> Every single time.

[00:00:30]Micromanagement is not just a bad habit.

[00:00:33]It is a training program.

[00:00:35]You are training your team to wait, to submit drafts, to avoid ownership, to let you carry the consequences.

[00:00:42]And then you call that lack of initiative.

[00:00:45]No, it is obedience to the system you built.
