Sometimes command means letting those under you do their job

About This Quote

Sometimes command means letting those under you do their job is a common saying that appears in many forms. It is usually followed by some form of the words, “but do it right!” The idea is to let those who are lower in the chain of command do their jobs with as little direction as possible. However, this type of leadership can cause problems with respect to employee motivation. If you are not clear about exactly what your subordinates are doing, or if they are given too much leeway, they may lack motivation.

Instead, you need to define the job and communicate exactly what needs to be done. Then, employees can grow with your vision for the company's future with the proper tools.
