Be the Manager You Want

Are you micro-managing yourself?

Do you notice that you are:

  • Constantly evaluating yourself, comparing your productivity to your goals;

  • Re-working your work;

  • Judging yourself for not doing things “the right way”;

  • Focusing on unimportant details;

  • Discounting your successes as never “enough.”

No wonder you’re miserable, if you’re under this constant, harsh spotlight!

Let’s look at self-management using the lens of how you like to be managed — such as:

  • Support, resources, and help with problem-solving when requested;

  • Appreciation of what you bring to your work;

  • Evaluation by periodic metrics;

  • Development of your talents

  • Celebration of your “wins.”

What conditions help you work best? How can you provide those conditions to yourself?
