Just by introducing a little bit of autonomy, you can let your employees think for themselves — which, more often than not, can translate into them getting more done.

Very nice read.

It's one of the reasons I ditched the 9-5 life to become a freelancer. I worked for a company where bosses looked over our shoulders like hawks to make sure we didn't deviate from the status-quo. Their mantra was "we pay you to do, not to think independently." Their mindset was, "if we trusted you to operate independently, you would be bosses like us, not the little peons that you are!"

It sucked. Now I have all of the autonomy I want and need...as well as a crappy freelancer paycheck :(
