It’s easy to assume that having autonomy simply means being able to do what we want.

It’s probably more accurate to say that we get to make our own decisions about what we do.

With that autonomy comes responsibility:

• To properly inform ourselves before we make a decision.
• To live with with the consequences of our decision (until we make another that will change them).
• To make sure that our decisions don’t impinge harmfully on anyone else’s autonomy.

Responsible autonomy is hard work in life and business.  Made easier and more joyful by collaborating with each other.

Well worth the effort though.  Just ask the women of Rojava.
