Not a Micromanager. Not a Babysitter. Just a Better Manager.

� Staff don’t quit their jobs - they quit their managers.
And the fastest way to lose good people? Sliding into the trap of micromanaging or babysitting your team.
Micromanaging sounds like: “It’s faster and easier to do it myself.”
Babysitting feels like: “My team can’t do anything unless I’m watching over them.”
Both might feel like solutions in the moment — but at a devastating cost. You end up resentful, drained and stressed, while your best staff quietly disengage, update their résumés, and walk out the door — leaving you with the staff you don’t want. The cycle repeats: constant vacancies, mounting costs, and a reputation as the manager no one wants to work for.
Lasting accountability doesn’t come from hovering or hand-holding. It evolves through setting clear expectations, building two-way trust, and having the conversations that matter.
� What You Can Expect:
“I didn’t realise accountability was so easily fixed.”
Sukoluhle Mayo, General Manager, iCare Youth Services, Alice Springs
� What You'll Learn:
• Build a culture of accountability where staff step up willingly - every time
• Have tough conversations that lift performance and prevent HR escalation
• Discover whether it’s you or them driving the cycle
• Keep your best people by creating a culture they want to be part of
• Lead with more confidence and less stress
� Perfect for: CEOs, executives, senior managers, HR teams, and team leaders.
� October is the only time this session is offered publicly. Seats are limited — secure yours now.
