Be observant and sensitive in the workplace...
It is really important for a manager to be observant and watchful. S/he should have an eye that captures relevant details from any situation.
I do not mean that the manager should do policing. Well, you might say that in some cases it is necessary/must. Yes, let me put it delicately that you need to "micro-manage". That reminds of a line from the book 'Good to great' from 'Jim Collins', if you need to micro-manage a person, you have made a hiring mistake.
Agreed, we all need to micro-manage at times. Steering back to my original point, it is important for the manager to be observant.
