Summary:

Autonomy is complex. It is independent and dependent. 21st century work requires an autonomous mindset to thrive. Individuals and organizations wishing to thrive will create an environment to enable their autonomy for best decision making. This autonomy includes characteristics of agency, seeing options, and taking control of decisions, all requiring an environment to support them. Valuing and practicing autonomy is essential to thriving in the 21st century. The only competitive force in the 21st century that is not matchable by competitors is the members of the organization and their commitment to the vision and mindset of the organization. Organizations need environments that support workers' autonomy and commitment to the organization. This book helps individuals and their organizations build environments that will ensure autonomous mindsets and decisions.
