The truth about management is that not all bosses are managers and not all managers are leaders. It is not necessary for leaders to be managers, but if they were, the team would produce better. Respect within the chain of command is of the utmost importance, and failure to do so will drastically affect employee motivation. If an employee is forced to run his own manger, morale and motivation will decline not just for that employee but for the entire team and company. This will place a perceived restriction on the well performing employee and their job and the push will diminish and cause the organization to reduce its effect sooner rather than later. This should not be confused with the idea that an employee feels they have the freedom to do what they want. Autonomy must be controlled to be successful as this will cause problems if one or a group starts going in the opposite direction from the set business goals. “Restrictions on employee autonomy have a strong impact on employees' motivational state, beliefs and behaviors. Therefore, formal controls that limit employee autonomy are likely to be particularly effective in encouraging desired employee behaviors, but may come at a cost in doing so” (Christ, 2012). You can expect and accept some levels of employee freedom if you want to trust them and encourage them to work to the best of their abilities, but they should not be left alone to decide the fate of the project or company within their own borders.
