If you just share what needs to get done, you’re giving orders.
If you explain when it needs to get done, you’re prioritizing and scheduling for someone else.
If you explain how it needs to get done, you’re micromanaging.
What if you always explained why something needed to get done, focusing on the importance and impact? Saying why provides guidance that empowers the people around you to solve problems, make decisions and accelerate delivery. Your team can figure out the when and how if you explain the why. Are you leaving it out?
