What are the benefits of autonomy and flexibility at work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <em><em>Brave New Work<\/em><\/em>, Aaron Dignan discusses how traditional organizational structures are both economically inefficient and less enjoyable for workers. His solution is to revolutionize organizations by providing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/employee-autonomy\/\">autonomy for employees<\/a> and flexible structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continue reading about how to create a positive work culture that your employees will enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Employee Autonomy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step to learning how to create a positive work culture is by giving your employees autonomy. Dignan\u2019s principle of autonomy is based on the assumption that people are trustworthy, intrinsically motivated, and capable of problem-solving. In a context where leaders expect these qualities in their employees, Dignan believes that employees will fulfill these expectations. On the other hand, if leaders believe that people are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/extrinsically-motivated\/\">extrinsically motivated<\/a> and need to be micromanaged to do good work, people will also internalize and fulfill these expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: The term <a href=\"https:\/\/philosophy.rutgers.edu\/climate-v2\/climate-issues-in-academic-philosophy\/stereotype-threat\">\u201cstereotype threat\u201d<\/a> embodies this idea that external expectations about a person\u2019s character or ability impact their performance. Research shows that when people are aware that they might confirm someone else\u2019s negative perception of them, it often causes lower performance in academic settings and the workplace. This phenomenon also contributes to widening inequalities for women, people of color, and other stereotyped groups.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having <strong>autonomy means that<\/strong> <strong>employees control their work as much as possible<\/strong>. This requires leaders to trust individuals and groups to self-manage and make decisions on their own (or with input from peers as needed) rather than simply following instructions from a higher-up. For example, if someone needs new software to finish the project they\u2019re working on, they should be able to purchase it quickly on their own, rather than asking a superior for permission, filling out request forms, and waiting for approval. This process is time-consuming, costly, and frustrates people who are prevented from doing the important work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Daniel Pink\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/drive\"><em>Drive<\/em><\/a> echoes the <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/drive\/chapter-4#autonomy\">importance of autonomy in the workplace<\/a> and clarifies that it\u2019s not just about doing work independently, but having agency (choice that comes from within, not from external pressures) in the work you&#8217;re doing and how you complete it. Similar to Dignan, he claims that traditional work environments stifle autonomy and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/intrinsic-motivation-psychology\/\">intrinsic motivation<\/a> when managers assume the worst in others and therefore try to micromanage employees. To rekindle the innate intrinsic motivation in people, Pink recommends providing autonomy in four aspects of their work: the task, time, technique, and team.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Flexible Organizational Structures<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/autonomy-at-work\/\">employee autonomy<\/a>, Dignan\u2019s second foundational principle for effective organizations is flexibility. <strong>Flexible organizations can adapt to constantly changing conditions<\/strong>. This means that you can quickly get rid of processes that don\u2019t serve the organization and experiment with new ways of doing things to meet new challenges.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flexible organizations allow people to problem-solve, rather than trying to predict and control every process from the top down. For example, if a weekly group meeting has become ineffective as a company has grown, the employees should have a simple way to get rid of the meeting and create new meetings as needed. This concept also applies to things like changing pay structures, budgets, and working roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Make Your Organization Antifragile<\/strong><br><br>Dignan\u2019s concept of having flexible organizational structures is closely related to Nassim Nicholas Taleb\u2019s theory of being antifragile: having a system that can withstand and benefit from uncertainty and volatility.&nbsp;<br><br>In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/antifragile\"><em>Antifragile<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/nassim-nicholas-taleb\/\">Taleb<\/a> agrees with Dignan that the modern world changes quickly and in unpredictable ways. Therefore, rather than trying to control a complex system such as an organization, some of Taleb\u2019s strategies for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-be-antifragile\/\">becoming antifragile<\/a> include <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/antifragile\/chapter-5#large-systems-are-fragile\">decentralizing authority<\/a> in large systems (so there is less risk of catastrophe if one person makes a bad decision) and <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/antifragile\/chapters-8-11#fragility-and-forecasting\">planning for failure<\/a> rather than trying to avoid it. In a business context, planning for failure could include assuming that your technology product will eventually become obsolete and planning how you will pivot to a new direction in that scenario, rather than staying hyper-focused on the current product.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do you create a positive work culture?
