Episode 18: Autonomy 

“You can either tell me what to do, or you can tell me how to do it. But you  can’t tell me both, Sir” recounted my friend Nate Boaz, citing the words of  a soldier during his days in the defense forces. Nate has a distinct take on  life and leadership, having served in war torn regions during his years with  

the U.S. Marine Corps, before making an uncharacteristic pivot into the  world of Human Resources via a career in strategy consulting. Nate and I  were peers on the HR leadership team, and these debates were integral to  our work in crafting people practices for Accenture. So it was not  surprising that these words have stayed with me years later.
