Instead, they feel empowered by their managers to pursue objectives and deadlines on their terms.” writes author and organizational psychologist David Burkus in an article for TED. “When people have the ability to determine how they work, the means to judge their progress and the feeling that their work helps other people, they can’t help but be motivated to get to work.”
