Why Punishment No Longer Fits The Modern Workplace

#9 - This week, we’re exploring “autonomy.” Specifically, why leaders and parents should be focusing on creating autonomy whenever they can. We start by discussing punishment, and specifically, why it doesn’t work anymore. Shane explains why building autonomy is a far more effective way to get employees, and families, engaged in a shared vision. Shane breaks down what autonomy feels like for each colour profile, the 4 things that take our autonomy away, and what leaders get wrong about entitlement. We then explore strategies to restore autonomy, the importance of following the “speed limit,” and what to do when kids just aren’t listening.
