Are you empowering your team or just watching over their shoulder?

In our previous episode, we explored why employees may meddle in others’ work, ranging from overconfidence and insecurity to poor leadership and cultural differences.

This week’s #AskHR episode, we’re drawing a clear line between leading with intention and micromanaging without realizing it. From unclear roles to low-trust cultures, we break down how leadership gaps create confusion, frustration, and workplace interference and how to shift toward true empowerment.

What Leadership Gaps Might Look Like

 As leaders we might think we're helping. In many ways we are, but we can also be getting in the way without realizing it.

We’re also sharing actionable tools to help you lead and manage, not monitor while leaning on your HR leadership team for support. We discussed how to encourage collaboration without taking over, and how to remind employees that good intentions need good timing and sometimes, permission, in an empowering way.

Our Key Takeaways

As shared in our last episode, encourage ownership by letting go.

• Mel Robbins calls it the Let Them Theory: let people lead in their own way, even if it’s not your way.
• And as Jay Shetty reminds us: It’s not just about setting boundaries, it’s about respecting them.
