“Micromanaging” can mostly be observed as a dirty word but sometimes there is a great reason to micromanage. Most interviewers recognize this but they still wish to know that you recognize that micro managing has a time and place and that you aren’t the kind of manager who give priority to do everything themselves. Managers who attempt to do everything themselves are not actually leading. They are going to be overworked, other workers are going to be sad, and less is going to get done. On events, you are going to have to show to interviewers that you are eager to give up responsibility, no matter how difficult that may be.

Behavioral Interview Query: Few managers have complications giving up control of an activity or project even once they have delegated this to others. Provide me an instance of a time this has happened to you and tell me how you managed it.

The mere wrong answer to this query is going to be one that concentrates too much on your micromanagement. But then again, the query is inquiring you about your micromanagement. So how do you react?

Concentrate on an answer that is understandable – for instance, if you had a complication giving up an activity that you loved doing before you were promoted. Micromanagement is worse, but loving your job and normally not being utilized to someone else doing it for you is ideally reasonable.

“Before I was promoted as a SEO manager, I spent most of my time as a content writer. I had minor issue giving up the link building, but I originally loved the content writing. Once i was promoted I was no longer needed to write content and rather had to delegate it, I must say I surely struggled to give it away. I would check in often to observe how the writer was doing up and sometimes write some myself.

The reality was though, my new writer was turning in work and it was outstanding. Meanwhile I was getting backed up. That is when I identified how significant it was to trust. I would yet edit the first 2 pages merely to make certain she was on the right way, but if they were, I would comfortably move on and believe that she did a good job.”

It is merely a story. But it is one that indicates you learned. That is all the employer actually cares about. The recommendable way to delegate is to be aware, and that is what this kind of answer indicates.
