Ever since the days of autocratic monarchs, leaders have assumed that people need the heavy hand of authoritarian rule in order to behave and get anything done. Visionary systems reject this idea in favor of the less cynical view that <strong>people are generally reasonable and can be trusted to make good decisions.<\/strong> (Shortform note: This sentiment is backed up by historian Rutger Bregman, who writes in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/humankind\/1-page-summary\"><em>Humankind<\/em><\/a> that our species evolved to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/humankind\/1-page-summary#evolutionary-evidence-we-evolved-to-work-together\">compassionate and cooperative<\/a> and that the darker side of human nature flourished <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/humankind\/1-page-summary#historical-evidence-civilization-causes-suffering\">because of the structures imposed by civilization<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Laloux argues that, when trust replaces regulations and mandates, it unleashes workers\u2019 inner potential. When we\u2019re set free with the trust that we\u2019ll work toward a purpose, Laloux finds that we\u2019re revealed to be creative, intelligent, and willing to hold ourselves accountable for our own mistakes. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/visionary-company\/\">Visionary companies<\/a> assume that, when mistakes occur, people will own and learn from them in a way that benefits the whole organization. (Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/start-with-why\"><em>Start With Why<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/simon-sinek-biography\/\">Simon Sinek<\/a> elaborates on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/start-with-why\/chapter-6#strong-trust-and-culture-go-together-strong\">the benefits of trust<\/a>, such as allowing workers to take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-mitigate-risk\/\">creative risks<\/a> and invest more fully in the company\u2019s goals. Sinek also notes that by tapping into the brain\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-does-the-limbic-system-do\/\">limbic system<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/start-with-why\/chapter-6#trust-and-the-limbic-brain\">trust gives valuable emotional weight to decisions made by others<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, says Laloux, <strong>peer pressure is a far better regulator than punitive action from a battery of bosses<\/strong>. As we assume responsibility for the organization\u2019s goals, we stop merely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/working-for-money\/\">working for money<\/a>. We work for the quality of the work itself. (Shortform note: The idea that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/positive-peer-pressure\">peer pressure can be a positive force<\/a> may be counterintuitive, but has been gaining attention among <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scientificamerican.com\/article\/peer-pressure-has-a-positive-side\/\">those who study adolescent behavior<\/a>. Peer pressure can help teens <a href=\"https:\/\/parentandteen.com\/positive-peer-pressure\/\">make positive choices, adopt healthy habits, and share moral support<\/a>. The same has been shown to be true of professional colleagues who <a href=\"https:\/\/thriveglobal.com\/stories\/how-to-enlist-positive-peer-pressure-work-stress-co-workers\/\">treat each other as coaches and collaborators<\/a>.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How much control from above do workers need?
