Once you have a chance of seeing things working out fine without you intervening, you will start to become comfortable with letting go of control at times.

Delegate- it is important to delegate to others. You can always start small but at least start. You can let people know how you want things done and then step back to watch. For once rely on others to do the work and trust them. This will also boost the confidence and your relationship with the people.
