Autonomy wins the day.
It’s subtle and powerful all in one.
Each of us needs a different balance — what’s yours?
Its times when we feel.
We have some space to move about.
To be creative.
To do things using our ideas and thoughts.
Not being constrained by rules.
Or.
Being told what to do.
When
and
how.
It’s that feeling you get as a child when out in the wind.
You run and dance as if wild.
Feeling free
To manoeuvre.
In just enough space that allows
You to feel comfortable and not frightened.
So how can we keep this inner free spirit?
Lack of boundaries and direction.
Can be restricting as there is too much choice.
So what can you do?
As a manager
Give some boundaries and focus
And let your great people
Use their strengths and creativity.
To do the best work.
How about today you take a step back
And just let go and allow others do.
