Autonomy in the Workplace

Management should be more about enabling employees to be successful rather than overseeing their every move. When more direct supervision is warranted, managers must attempt to strike a balance somewhere between complete autonomy and micromanagement.

• In thinking about your own work, what aspect of autonomy is most important to you? Autonomy over what you do (task), when you do it (time), how you do it (technique), or with whom you do it (team)? Why?
• How does education today prepare people to be autonomous learners?

Note: You do not need to directly answer these points in your Discussion post, as they serve only to begin your thinking process; however, you must explain your reasoning as you formulate your formal response.

Answer the following questions!

• What are the risks of allowing others to be autonomous? What are the benefits?
• What procedures would need to be put in place to ensure that assignments are still being completed?
• What happens when your employees are educated in a Type X environment? As a manager, how can you help them succeed in a Type I environment? Be specific
