High agency describes a way of working where people do not wait passively for perfect instructions before moving. Instead, they take responsibility for understanding the goal, identifying blockers, and pushing the work forward with judgment.

In business and product teams, high agency usually shows up as faster execution, better follow-through, and fewer stalled decisions. It does not mean acting recklessly or ignoring alignment. It means combining ownership with sound judgment so progress keeps happening even when the path is not perfectly defined.
