“Human beings have an innate inner drive to be autonomous, self-determined, and connected to one another. And when that drive is liberated, people achieve more and live richer lives.”
"Experts say that workers who believe they are free to make choices in the workplace — and be accountable for their decisions — are happier and more productive.
Although the desire for freedom from micromanagement may be universal, there is no cross-cultural definition of autonomy. What people from one culture perceive as workplace freedom, those from another may view as simple disorganization.
No matter how autonomy is defined, when people feel they have latitude, the results are impressive. Potential benefits include greater employee commitment, better performance, improved productivity and lower turnover."
“... In a ROWE* people don't have schedules.
They show up when they want.
They don't have to be in the office at certain time, or anytime.
They just have to get their work done.
How they do it ?
When they do it ?
Where they do it ?
It's totally up to them.
Meetings & this kind of environments are Optional.
What happens ... ?
Almost across the board !
- Productivity goes up
- Worker Engagement goes up
- Worker Satisfaction goes up
- Turnovers goes down
- Autonomy .. Mastery .. Purpose -
these are the building blocks of new way of doing things."

Autonomy is not something that would work with every situation, but given the right scenario, it works like a charm. It goes against what most people would think, but turns out to be a major factor in increased motivation in America.
