Free will is the ability to act intuitively, or in other words, to act without external compulsion. People are free when they can develop in the best way for them. Why is this so important? Well, it’s quite simple: it’s necessary to trust. Trust is a key element of leadership and life in general. For example, you need your team’s trust if you want them to believe in you as a leader and, more importantly, strive toward the goals you set for yourself and the company. You can best build your employees’ trust by giving them freedom (as long as it’s handled well). The same is true for yourself: To trust yourself, you need freedom. Freedom allows us to try new things and make mistakes to learn and grow from our experiences.
