Two Proven Ways To Manage Your Team Without Being A Total Control Freak

Whether you’re a business owner bringing on team members for the first time or have been around the business block managing your team for years, handing over the reins can feel challenging.

After all, being in control is what being the boss is all about, am I right?

Control is a thing for us entrepreneurs. After all, controlling all.the.things. is what allowed you to grow your business to a place for it to need team members in the first place. 

While being in control might have helped you grow your business, it’s not always the most productive lever when it comes to motivating and managing your team.

That’s why I went live to talk about two proven ways to manage your team without being a total control freak . 

I broke down two drivers for team motivation, how to integrate this into your leadership so you can still FEEL in control, build a loyal team, and help your people help you scale your business results.

I also shared practical examples you can borrow of how I implement this with my team for more buy in and ease...that has me saying, "I love my team!" and leaves me feeling supported and set up for success.

Wishing you your version of success!

WE JAMMED ON:

• Why I don’t “manage” people (because who actually likes to be “managed”?!) and the research-backed approach I focus on instead for team motivation and better results.

• THIS is essential if you want team members that care about more than punching a timeclock and the next paycheck (hint: this matters for how YOU show up as a CEO for your income and impact as well).

• The core psychological human need that’s everything for team success and important for us control freaks, I mean entrepreneurs, to be aware of.

• The important thing to remember when working with a team online (that’s different from your 9-5) and makes all the difference in how you delegate.

• The crucial concept I apply to team leadership that allows for a sense of control *without* being a control freak so my team has the space to show up as their best and also supports my business output and results.
