A digital marketing team is responsible for promoting a brand and its products in the online space. But like any other department of a business, your digital marketing is prone to distractions. And we know how much that can hurt their efficiency and productivity. That said, we've listed nine common things that can distract your digital marketing team and how you can fix them. Multitasking A common misconception that people believe is that being a better multitasker equals a more productive person. This worry has permeated all sorts of productivity advice. Yet it's only recently that people have realized that multitasking isn't all sunshine and rainbows. Multitasking reduces our productivity, especially if we are performing a task that requires deep concentration. If you perform multiple tasks at once, you take longer to complete those tasks and you may even affect the employee data overall quality of work. There will be times when multitasking is necessary, but it's best not to do it as much as possible. As a result, you will be able to complete things much faster and with better results. Micro-management Micromanaging your digital marketing team is not a sign of good leadership. Instead, it shows that you lack trust in your team, and your team won't trust you in turn. They will become complacent and need to be at your complete disposal, which means they are less productive and very dependent. You may not think you are a micromanager. However, hovering over people's desks all the time while they're working is already a huge distraction. Learn to trust your employees since you hired them for their qualifications, after all. They are work professionals, so you should treat them as such. If they don't know something, that's where you can step in. Teach them the tricks of the trade and let them learn the lessons the hands-on way.
