Leadership mistake #4: Spontaneous controls

"So, how's the pitch for client AB looking?" What at first glance appears to be a friendly inquiry from the boss can be received very negatively by the team. The interpretation quickly arises that you don't trust your team or that you're not moving fast enough.

How to do it better: Make sure that you build up and maintain a trusting working atmosphere with your team. For this, it is important that you let your team work in peace. Part of working together in an atmosphere of trust is trusting your team to get back to you when things don't go according to plan.
