I suggest you read the previous parts before.

I was hoping this would not only be a guide for people who have/will or in future will have teams, but also as a some sort of remedy for all of the people who were hurt, damaged, by having a a poor Boss. I know how such an experience can influence self-esteem. What if it was not You but a toxic boss, or maybe the whole organization was toxic?
Hope this is useful.

They don't let people pursue their passions. 

Talented employees are passionate. Providing opportunities for them to pursue their passions improves their productivity and job satisfaction.

But many managers want people to work within a little box where there is nothing outside.

These managers fear that productivity will decline if they let people expand their focus and pursue their passions. This fear is simply stupid.

Studies show that people who are able to pursue their passions at work experience flow, a euphoric state of mind that is five times more productive than the norm.

But yes, I know what you are going to say that not every occupation can be a creative place or is a place for passion. Yes, you are right, but I will give you a very simple example of how a borin job with boring tasks can be a place for innovation. 

While working for one of big electric power producers and suppliers I was tasked with finding opportunities in a department where 5 people were making correction of invoices for our big customers. As "big" i mean GSM providers who have a ton of points of distribution and use a lot of power (probably not as much as a small bitcoin minig operation but still they are a big player). 

I started "by the book" by sitting with employees of that department and looking at their daily work, asking a lot of questions. On a third day i sat down with a young lad and since I already had some thoughts on their work from previous days I was asking more specific questions. For me I was asking "good" questions but for my collegue i was annoying. After two hours of work we went for a coffe break to an outside kitchen where nobody from the team (including his boss) was able to hear us. 

My young friend told me that he is also working for a logistic company making invoices reports and other analytical stuff. He also confessed that he knows how to improve the whole process of correcting the invoices in a short period of time by building some rules and macro's into the excels they are all working on. 

I asked why he didn't tell about this to his boss and apparently "losing time for some uncheked excel toys" was not something that the team was looking kindly to. 

Since I had the "position" to ask for a week of overtime for the lad, and also I was able to help him in developing the tools for his team, after a week we were able to produce an excel based tool that cut down the time needed for correcting the invoices by 28%.

The result was that the satisfaction of the team was incresed as they were able to start doing more less repetetive work. And the guy was promoted to an analyst and started building tools for more teams. 

All it took was to let a person do what he knew he likes and is good at.
