Great post Rafa. I've been hearing this term more and more as well. How is it different from autonomy? Also, what are the risks of being a High Agency person?

Thank you, Suresh! This is a brilliant question. In short:
- Autonomy = external freedom to act, usually based on trust.
- High-agency = internal drive to act, regardless of the external environment.
Potential risks are: burnout, overstepping boundaries, resistance from others, misalignment with some company cultures, etc.
Thank you so much for clarifying it for me!
