They don’t watch their employees like hawks. They don’t enact rules and policies to cover every situation, because they know their employees will rise to every challenge.
They don’t set up control mechanisms to keep people from using their native smarts and ingenuity.
They don’t measure every keystroke and every minute spent on any activity.
They know that focusing on their mission and big, shared goals is a million times more important than measuring everything in sight.
Lots of policies and yardsticks everywhere are unmistakable signs of a fear-based workplace. Measurement of non-essential things is the first sign of a workplace ruled by fear.
