It is time to consider a new coaching and leadership development approach for frontline people managers and team leaders—one that focuses on learning how to lead with autonomy.
BE GREAT LLC's Research Discovered:
There is a direct link between burnout, micromanagement and autonomy.
Employees who say they are “committed to a very great extent” also say that their managers are “very or extremely effective” at “granting autonomy.” Autonomy gives employees the opportunity to manage their job demands, workload, and work environment, which helps reduce burnout.
People managers and direct reports both agree that granting autonomy is one of the top behaviors managers can use to improve their performance.
Granting employees the autonomy they want is not an all-or-nothing process. Managers need to be responsible for determining how much, when, and what parameters and milestones to set to maintain accountability. These critical decisions depend on the manager's assessment of the individual contributor’s readiness, willingness and capabilities. Our program, Leading with Autonomy®, can help.
Leading with Autonomy® develops managers’ ability to reduce employee burnout by understanding their own micromanagement triggers and learning what autonomy is, why it works, what management actions support it, how to use it as a leadership method, and how to grant it while maintaining accountability.
