The idea
According to the book, a person can be autonomous while following instructions, provided they understand and endorse the reason for them.
In practice
A leader giving clear direction and inviting the employee to question and accept the rationale before starting.
Where people slip
The book calls this genuine autonomy support, even inside a structured environment; structure and autonomy are not opposites.
