When I first became a manager the single most difficult thing was to watch one of my reports do something different from the way I would have done it. The urge to jump in and say "Nooooo! Do it this way . . ." was so strong, but I managed to resist. I will 'help' if I see things getting way off-track, or offer suggestions to the effect of "Have you tried looking at the problem this way . . .", but most of the time I leave them to do things they way they want to do them. Everything turns out fine and I now appreciate different people's individual approaches.
