Law 16 — Autonomy: ចាត់ចែងឯករាជ្យ និង Check-ins មានអត្ថន័យ

Law 16 — Autonomy: ចាត់ចែងឯករាជ្យ និង Check-ins មានអត្ថន័យ_ from Team Leadership with The 48 Laws of Power

Autonomy ≠ abandonment. Give clear lanes and real decision rights—then run meaningful, light-weight check-ins. Adaptability & Culture Autonomy Check-ins Master Post

Core Idea: អ្នកដឹកនាំកំណត់ Outcome និង Decision Rights ឲ្យច្បាស់ បន្ថែម Support និង Check-ins ដែលមានអត្ថន័យ (មិនមែន micromanage)។ វាធ្វើឱ្យមនុស្សដំណើរការលឿន ប៉ុន្តែរក្សាគុណភាព/សុវត្ថិភាព។

1) Autonomy Framework (4 Blocks)

1) Scope & Outcomes

• សរសេរ Outcome ជាមួយ Exit criteria (តេស្ត/រូប/សញ្ញាសម្រេចចិត្ត)។
• Link to code/spec/drawing; define dependencies & approval path។

2) Decision Rights & Boundaries

• អ្វីដែល owner អាចសម្រេច (budget ≤ X, sequencing, vendor shortlist)។
• Non-negotiables: Safety/Code; Change control for scope/$$ shifts។

3) Support & Resources

• Tools/crew/access/SOP; inspection slots; PO lane; mentor។
• Escalation lane (criteria + contact) ឲ្យច្បាស់។

4) Check-ins មានអត្ថន័យ

• Agenda តូចៗ: Goal → Evidence → Risks/Blockers → Next step។
• Cadence: daily micro (board-first) · weekly 1-on-1 · milestone reviews។

2) Check-in Design (កុំ micromanage)

Evidence-First

• រូប/តេស្ត/ប័ណ្ណស្នងការ នៅលើ card; កុំសុំរាយការណ៍វែងៗ។
• Move to “Ready/Done” នៅពេល Exit criteria ពេញលេញ។

Time-Boxed

• Daily ≤ 10–15′ (ties L4); weekly 1-on-1 30′ (ties L43/L5)។
• Decision windows (ties L31/L35) បិទជជែកមិនចប់។

Owner-Led

• Owner បើកការពិភាក្សា៖ progress %, blockers, ask for help។
• Leader កាត់ផ្លូវ/unblock, មិនបញ្ជារលំអិតលើវិធីសាស្ត្រ។

3) Delegation Ladder (Grow Autonomy)

Steps

• Tell → Show → Co-own → Own-with-review → Own-and-teach
• Promote upward when evidence shows reliability (pass-first, on-time)។

Guardrails

• WIP ≤ 3 active cards/person (ties L18/L30)។
• Escalate on pre-set criteria: safety, code breach, schedule slip > X days។

4) Playbooks (អាចប្រើភ្លាម)

New Zone Owner

• Ownership brief (L7) + mentor 1 សប្ដាហ៍ដំបូង
• Daily micro check-ins; first milestone review at 1–2 weeks

Remote/Shift Team

• Board-first async update + photos/tests
• Weekly video 1-on-1; pre-book inspections centrally

Stuck Owner

• Switch to 48–72h cadence; add decision brief A/B/C (L31)
• Remove blockers or re-scope workload (ties L25)

5) Do / Don’t (សង្ខេប)

✅ Do

• Write outcomes, rights, guardrails, and support—before delegating
• Run evidence-first, time-boxed check-ins; log actions (Owner·Due·Link)
• Scale autonomy as reliability/evidence grows

❌ Don’t

• Abandon people after delegating; “autonomy” ≠ “alone”
• Micromanage methods when outcomes are on track
• Let decisions float without windows or approvers

6) Weekly Metrics (15 នាទី/សប្ដាហ៍)

• % owners with written decision rights/guardrails (target ≥ 90%)
• Blocker resolution time ≤ 48–72h; # escalations by criterion
• Pass-first rate on sections led by autonomous owners
• Check-in completion rate & average duration (keep short)
