Even if the entire team that you lead consists of qualified and conscientious specialists, you need to control the decisions they make and the implementation of their assigned tasks. There are several ways to control subordinates, which will allow you to adequately assess the contribution of each of them to the work and track the timing of its completion.
Instructions
Step 1
Monitoring the results of the work performed will allow you not to be a "nanny" and not spend a lot of time checking how the work is being done. For your subordinates, this method will be an incentive to improve their qualifications and professional development. But in this case, you run the risk that the desired result may not be obtained within the agreed time frame. In this way, you can only control those employees who are confident and have clear tasks. In this case, a realistic timeframe for the work should be determined and standard technologies and methods should be used.
Step 2
You can use the method of preliminary control and check the status of the task execution at regular intervals. You can also control after the completion of intermediate stages, in which case the frequency of checks will be different. You will have the opportunity to make timely adjustments and be confident that the task will be completed, although you will have to spend more time. Use this method if you are not sure that the employee is disciplined enough, if he has little experience, low motivation.
Step 3
Some managers prefer to use selective control, when an employee can expect to be required to report at any time. For those subordinates who do not have high self-discipline and responsibility, this method helps to keep "in good shape" and its use is quite justified. But for those employees who are motivated to work, have high qualifications and want to be trusted, this method of control is often perceived as distrust, it demotivates them and even makes them want to quit.
Step 4
Please note that a highly professional team that loves and knows how to work practically does not need control on your part, since it performs tasks in self-control mode. In this case, you will only be required to advise or make a decision in controversial moments when you are asked about it.
