You're Not Managing Enough

Judd Antin’s article "You're Not Managing Enough" sparked some interesting thoughts about the balancing act we perform in IT management. The piece dives into the fine line between being overly involved in our teams' work and not providing enough guidance.

It's a refreshing perspective that challenges the common fear of micromanagement by highlighting the pitfalls of under-management.

The core message? Finding the right balance is key. Managers must support and guide their teams without stifling their creativity and independence. Think of it as a mentor who knows when to step in with advice and when to step back and let the team shine.

This concept is especially relevant in the fast-paced world of technology. Our projects and technologies evolve quickly, and our management style needs to be flexible enough to adapt. We need to be actively involved yet trust our teams to take the initiative and drive innovation.

Let’s strive for that middle ground—where we're engaged and supportive but also empower our teams to explore, learn, and grow.
