Quote card: Don't tell people how to do things, tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results.
“Don't tell people how to do things, tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results.”

Hire well, explain the result you want, then leave space. The first employee who is micromanaged is usually the first one to leave.
