Are you a micromanager?
Check all that apply (and be honest)
Your job is this:
to create and
uphold the
initiatives of
the organization
and to create
meaningful
work. Everyone
else's job is to
execute the
plan.

I correct other people's work.
I have a fear of failure.
I want details of my team's interactions with patients.
I have trouble prioritizing.
I believe that I'm the only one who can do certain tasks.
I have doubts about my team's abilities.
I want to be notified of small details.
I have multiple micromeetings with my team
throughout the day.
Team effects of micromanagement:
* High employee attrition rates-over 15%.
* Lack of new ideas initiated by the team.
* Decreased productivity (reflected in KPIs)
within the practice or a position.
Negative effects of micromanagement:
* Inconsistency.
* Team members who are disempowered
to work toward improving the practice.
* Apathetic employee behavior.
With the control you execute in micromanaging, you throw
off any potential for alignment within your practice. If you're in
disagreement with your team on anything you're trying to do, then
it will simply never get done-or, worse, bits and pieces will get done
and the initiative will fall apart.
Extend trust
Relinquishing control of tidbits of tasks and data requires strong
administrative protocols, but most of all it requires communication
and trust. It requires you to understand the broader picture-the
hope for a better life for you and your team. Chances are you'd
rather be doing dentistry anyway. When micromanagement goes
up, trust goes down.
Average training in any given business is 1% of work time, which
equates to 30 minutes per week. In a dental office, I'd deduce that
the statistic is much lower.
Let's start from the source: Most micromanagers typically
don't have defined duties within their dental practices. They have
nonexistent or incomplete job descriptions, and inconsistencies in
checklist thoroughness or existence. To build your dream team,
realize next-level patient care or even consistently pay your bills, you
must name what you expect from your team.
