The Freedom Scale

Definition:

This scale is a measure of the degrees of freedom the employee operates with, insofar as his/her manager allows. To be successful, we need to operate at the level of "3" or higher.

The Levels of Action are:

5. Act on own, routine reporting only

4. Act, but advise at once

3. Recommend, then take resulting action

2. Ask what to do

1. Wait until told.
