Scanning through my career, spanning over a few decades, the most effective performance enhancing factor I could remember was nothing but having a sense of control over whatever I had been doing.
Scientific research into the DNA structure of Management Science has already confirmed that giving employees control over what they do and how they do, leads to a sense of fulfillment and multiply the degree of engagement.
My best career performance was in the organization where my bosses delegated the act of problem solving and decision making to me, allowing me full freedom and control over all the activities in my area of operation.
The opposite happened in another organization I had worked for several years, without having any control over anything within my sphere of responsibility.
Leadership may look into this aspect of human psychology with a better sense of understanding and ensure appropriate mechanism for implementation of the same to create a self-controlled culture of working in the organization.
Give them the Power of Control and watch the wonders unfolding. Based on my personal experience, I can bet on witnessing a dramatic shift in employee engagement.
