Original Discussion
It is an interesting one: For best practice to be effective, management should give room to employees' heuristic contribution or participation. Just like what we learnt last week about the various perspective of operation strategy, the top-up and bottom- up: where there is High level of coordination and control and it encourages team work.

According to McMahon (2013) cognitive processes developed by the leader, heuristics, can increase the creative output of the employees which will improve the processes. An employee who is intrinsically motivated is one who is energized by his work itself rather than been motivated by the rewards he receives as a result of accomplishing his task. A manager who makes employees energized about their work will have workers who are likely to explore new ideas and conceive creative solutions.
