Autonomy in a team of people working on the same goal has a lot of benefits, but the one that is most valuable from my perspective is the creativity to create solutions and innovations because allows the development of the skills in a high-skilled team to the maximum possible. One of the challenges that team leaders face is building this functional autonomy because several times the way in which the goals are communicated is confused by giving the team a list of tasks to complete and not space to propose solutions.
