Daniel Pink makes a similar point in Drive about autonomy being part of the formula for motivation (along with clear goals and challenges to face). Thanks for reading and commenting!

This reminds me of Jocko Wilink's "decentralized command" principle from his book Extreme Ownership. As leaders, we must empower others to decide how best to operate within their roles and responsibilities. To do anything else is to become an impediment, which you've eloquently articulated with this paradox. Thanks for sharing!
