The balance between self-management and micro-management can be difficult at time, and depends on a number of factors. You’ll need to be aware of people’s skill levels, the training they’ve received, an understanding of their responsibilities, and their level of confidence in themselves. Either extreme can cause failures, however in my opinion, micro-management is the more frequent cause of team member dissatisfaction and departures. As a leader, it takes time and effort to balance the amount of input you have in day to day activities. Are you balanced in your approach, or do you need to review your management style?
