A day to quickly forget

Therapeutic writing - that's what's ahead.
I remember my good friend and former project mgr Aidan repetitely asking - almost like a mantra - "Everyone knows where they're going ? All clear ?". Well don't ask that question to my team. Although I presented them a yearplan in slides (with a sound picture in my mind in how to get there gradually), some team members want microplannings per individual. When I ask them to give it a proactive shot, I get either crap documents or push-back that it's not their job.

So, what do i do: microplanning and time registration for everyone, or only for some of the operational domains, or for those who ask for it ? Not to mention the status reporting and the complaints on overhead you get about reporting.
One of the leadership courses, taught me to delegate more to the group, to let collective intelligence work. Well, good luck if not everyone has a proactive mindset.

Project work seems so much easier and transparent in this respect - even with frequent scope & governance changes.

I hate not being clear, and it's clear that I'm not. I hate having to micromanage this team (because of their experience), but it's clear that I'll have to do it more.

Not to mention the dude from another department that found it absolutely necessary to escalate to my boss his insignificant problem that didn't get solved because he failed to do some business analyst's 101 work that now I have to do. £*%86@ !
