You kill creativity and team development
The first reason is probably also the most obvious. If you completely ignore the comments and ideas of your subordinates, you do not give them enough room for their own growth. This kills the creativity of your team, a strategy that ultimately leads to employee dissatisfaction, reduced competitiveness of the team overall and low team flexibility.
You micromanage subordinates
No one wants a micromanager as their superior. And ignoring the ideas and innovative suggestions of subordinates is a typical symptom of micromanagement. If you, as a team manager, do not give subordinates any space to come up with their own ideas and do their own work, you are setting yourself up for a long-term and very serious problem.
You will never be able to build trust with subordinates
A good working relationship between manager and subordinates is always based on mutual trust. And this cannot be achieved if your communication is not a dialogue, but only a monologue in which the manager simply dictates what subordinates should do. Be interested in your subordinates and listen to their ideas, comments and suggestions.
You will not detect the unique talents of your subordinates
One of the tasks of a manager is to identify the individual strengths of subordinates and develop them. A manager should also pay attention to whether there is a talent or an ambitious worker in their team who is promising and a good asset to the company. If a manager is killing off subordinates' ideas, they cannot accomplish these tasks.
