Leaders who micromanage their team limit its effectiveness by controlling the work to the extent of their personal reach. To retain and encourage talented employees, managers must learn how to release their control by understanding situations where they tend to take control and the reasons why.
Managers should embrace realistic stakes in projects, establish checkpoints and limits, and teach the team how to solve problems through effective collaboration for better results. Todd Henry, a renowned creativity consultant, encourages leaders to establish practices that lead to everyday brilliance.

In this article, the author explores how some people seem to abruptly change their lives by becoming better versions of themselves seemingly overnight. The author calls this phenomenon discovering self-actualization. The changes are triggered by a fundamental restructuring of belief systems, which often results in a sudden, pervasive increase in self-efficacy.
The article also discusses the common features and potential pitfalls of such a change, and the factors that may increase the likelihood of such a transformative change.

Article of the Week
In the dynamic landscape of the professional world, effective communication is the cornerstone of successful leadership.
One crucial aspect of communication that often gets overlooked is the art of giving feedback. It's not just about patting someone on the back for a job well done; it's also about addressing areas for improvement and fostering an environment of continuous growth.
Effective communication is a two-way street, and the feedback loop is the vehicle that keeps it flowing smoothly.
For leaders, providing regular and constructive feedback is not just a managerial duty—it's a responsibility that shapes the professional journey of their team members.
When feedback becomes a consistent part of the workplace culture, it transforms into a powerful tool for improvement and development.
