A step-by-step breakdown of the workshop process
1Introduction
In the introduction, the facilitator welcomes participants and introduces the workshop's focus on micromanagement in virtual teams. A poll gauges participants' feelings of control over their work, followed by a discussion on common signs of micromanagement, aiming to foster a culture of trust.
