Key Takeaways:

• Autonomy creates problem solvers, not just employees. Encourage team members to take ownership by bringing solutions alongside challenges.
• Control is an illusion. Leaders who struggle with autonomy often believe they must maintain control over outcomes—but true leadership is about trust and clarity.
• EOS provides a framework for autonomy with accountability. Defining clear roles and responsibilities gives team members confidence to own their work.
• Workaholic culture is not sustainable. Building a business shouldn’t come at the cost of health and relationships.
• Small shifts create big impact. Simple changes—like eliminating timesheets or offering flexible PTO—can reinforce a culture of trust.
