Leadership mistake #3: Imprecise work orders

"Please compile the current status of the project for me!" If you, as the boss, formulate your work orders so vaguely, your employees will not know exactly enough what needs to be done. In case of doubt, they will rather invest too much time so that nothing is missing. If, however, you only need the milestone planning "from the current state", you have created a lot of reactive power with your imprecise work order. Of course, your team will also notice this and will be frustrated accordingly.

How to do it better: Make sure that you formulate tasks and goals as precisely as possible. The SMART method is well suited for this and easy to apply.
