Which Self-Induced Profile Are You? -Part-2

2. Mr. Doubt

They doubt everything—locked doors, delegated work—and micromanage constantly, stressing themselves and everyone around them.

Dos:

1. Use checklists for repetitive tasks and tick them off.

2. Set clear expectations when delegating, then step back.

3. Schedule fixed progress-check times (not continuous).

4. Practice trusting others with small, low-risk tasks.

5. Keep a journal of unfounded doubts to challenge them.

Don’ts:

1. Don’t re-check the same thing more than twice.

2. Don’t ask for constant updates from team members.

3. Don’t decide based solely on "what if" scenarios.

4. Don’t compare your doubt to others' confidence.

5. Don’t avoid delegation—it increases your load.
