The choice reflects freedom. We choose because we decide to. There is inherent control when we make a choice. And that is a good thing. Making a choice gives us the agency we need.
Industrial work has mostly focused on taking away from us the agency to decide. This is the most important reason we do not associate work with responsibility. Early-stage efforts struggle with loyalty and cannot get the footing because we do not hand authority over those we join hands in where we want to go.
Offering Choice is a highly powerful tool to retain control and make people feel empowered. Making choice is a road to participate with ownership, responsibility, and decisive participation.
Organizations that nurture the culture of delegated choice-making will go a long way in creating something meaningful and something that solves real problems.
