The part I hate the most about the job is reviewing my team’s work. Obviously i can do their job better most of the time or prefer a certain style. Is this related to my ADHD? Has anyone else gone through this?

I find reviewing and delegating work very challenging with ADHD. It requires a whole additional set of executive functioning skills to do. Review checklists help me.

Agreed. I don’t ask my high performing direct reports to use checklists but I frequently request it for lower performers or anyone who repeatedly performs the same error.

I don't think it's part of your ADHD. You know how to do the job, you did the job and apparently did it well because you got promoted to manager. It is human nature to want things done right -- or as right as possible. You may have to learn how to control that as a manager, offer constructive tips like "This is good, but do you think it might be a little better if we do it this way?" If your staff member can't take a hint, you may need to be a bit more direct and explain how he gets a better performance with less work if he follow the tips from someone who's been there and made all the mistakes you are trying to spare him from making.

I've never known if it's related to ADHD because I feel like it's just part of leadership, learning to not micromanage or control how everyone does things but allowing for each employee to do the work in their own way. Obviously there are some areas for correction, always, but I think this is just a part of becoming a manager, regardless of ADHD

I prefer to review others work than do it from scratch in most cases. I don’t know if it’s an adhd thing as much as it is a control thing, there are some things I prefer to do myself
