Give them space
Team members want space to work according to their skill and ability. They want to use their best ideas to perform the task, every time it’s not require that they have to explain to you first how they are going to attend the task. This simply demotivate the confidence of them and discourage from their ability. Let them do their task as they think after assigning to them.

If you believe on their potential then they will automatically give you their best. Don’t try to interrogate on each point rather then leave on them that how they will achieve.
Delegate the responsibility
Sometimes it is better to pass some tasks to the team as per their capacity. Try to distribute tasks as per their skill and knowledge so they can enjoy their task rather than feel bore. If they will get task in which they are best and as per their choice then they will completely do it with fullest energy without looking here and there. Try to develop healthy skilled team with feeding them required inputs at right time.
Everyone has their own ability
Every time don’t expect output as per your standard and rules. Don’t think that if you do the task then it can be completed in less time with good practice of methods. Every human has their own set of rules and efficiency, hence trust on it and accept it in some other way as well.
Focus on your responsibilities
Try to focus on your task list which are made for you. Don’t waste time in asking and checking each and every things from team. You can try to define your level and improve your knowledge in this much amount of time of micro managing.
