Thank you Karl Haden for bringing this video to my attention.

Paul, thanks for the opportunity to preview this video. It was most definitely thought-provoking, and  I'm glad Karl shared it. Everyone loves autonomy. Usually, it is underpinned by trust. Knowing that your organizational leadership trusts you to be "productive" during periods of autonomy could reflect a period of Maslovian "self-actualization."    A question that comes to mind is whether or not autonomy needs to be earned or should autonomy be part of an expected organizational culture or norm. 

Mastery leads to creativity.  Purpose fuels ownership.  Both need to be nurtured and developed.  As a general rule, people want to get better and do better.  In order for purpose to be fully realized, it needs to be properly resourced.  I've lost count of how many times someone has a great idea and organizational leadership says run with it in full autonomy mode, but then it dies on the vine when resources aren't provided.  Sometimes autonomy, mastery, and purpose aren't enough.  But when they are supported with adequate resources, well then, you really might be on to something.
