Ruth, Taryn and Philippa from Mayden, a health tech company that’s Made Without Managers

... Ali Sturgess-Durden and Rob Cullingford had run some workshops for the organisation, and the four values that we as an organisation are built on. So transparency, collaboration, contribution and forward-thinking. They'd really emerged from talking to the staff at the time, to employees at the time, and Rob and...more
... use them to diagnose when things aren't feeling right, or as guiding principles when we're figuring stuff out. Is collaboration in there? What about transparency? How are we enabling contribution? And they came out of a place of, well, what kind of culture do we want? How do we want our teams to feel like and ...more
...ay. Try it and then see what happens. And that continuous experimenting, adapting, progressing by just making small changes, seeing what happens, and transparency I think is really, really key in that. It's one of our values, but it's something that we're still exploring. Often when something isn't quite workin...more

Often when something isn't quite working, or communication isn't really flowing, it's because transparency isn't there, or some something is being hidden, or something isn't as visible as it should be. And transparency - you really need, because you can't ...more

And transparency - you really need, because you can't ask the right questions unless it's transparent. Unless it's there for you to go, "Oh, what's that?" or, "Oh, ha...more

That transparency is really key to the right people being in the room and thinking, "We should try this then," or, "Have we tried this?" and then that kind of flow of ...more

Pasteur Byabeza on transitioning to self-management at Davis College

...pletely the opposite of how things were. So self management - in a short period of time - has resulted in empowerment of every employee. There's more transparency, more accountability, more freedom to think differently. Things are rapidly processed because there is no more bureaucracy. Anyone can make important...more
...s not really good. So it's very important to point out that, for circle members to be able to hold each other accountable - shouldn't be some radical transparency in some psychological sense, you see. Another very important lesson that I've learned - and actually, this is the most important part. I should have...more
...e are my favorites. And I believe if they are really well practiced, they can really be a strong foundation for self management. We practice radical transparency. That means being open and honest with others and ourselves. That's really important, and has really helped us a great deal. Another one is embracing...more

Gary Hamel on busting bureaucracy for good

... things are deeply embedded in our processes. And so is there an alternate set of principles? I think there is. And those principles around openness, transparency, meritocracy, using markets instead of hierarchies to allocate resources. So you have to start by saying, alright, if we took any of those principles...more
...tarting or installing practices first, but looking at principles and exploring those and what would it look like if we really believed in openness or transparency. Do you also think that there's some unlearning that we have to do from this kind of bureaucratic industrial model that we've all been conditioned in...more

Bernadette Wesley on bridging inner and outer transformation

...5% of our actions and behaviors are dictated by the subconscious mind. And that is daunting, because, well, how do I even know? But it starts through transparency. Every time we share a limiting thought or belief with someone else. And it doesn't have to take up a huge part of the meeting. It could just be like...more

Anna Elgh on self-managing teams and shifting conflicts at Svenska Retursystem

...d now record results. So what have been some of the tangible benefits that you've noticed? Anna Elgh: I noticed that we have reached a high degree of transparency within the company. We were quite transparent but we are even more transparent today and we try to share information and communicate within the whole...more

Frederic Laloux with an invitation to reclaim integrity and aliveness

... to here, it’s okay if people don’t see what you have below when you take that shirt off, and you feel really silly doing it. It’s sort of a break in transparency, like when you went to a different place, and you don’t say you dressed up for work. But here suddenly, it’s even more jarring that you have to put o...more

Jorge Silva on horizontal structures and participatory culture at 10Pines

...care of trust, you know - it's really important for us. And the last thing that I think we look for from people is to share the same values. To share transparency, to share trust. And excellence from a technical point of view, and all the set of values that we share, because you can't work with other people who...more

Amy Edmondson on psychological safety and the future of work

...LG: A key piece in what you’ve shared in those two answers for me is about transparency and facing things as they are, instead of what I think we’re conditioned to do, often as managers, which is trying to pep talk or take care of people...more

Beetroot’s founders on purpose, self-management, and shocking people with trust

Then we talk about trust, feedback culture and these things and transparency and then gradually start talk about it, start to let more people get more into more things like to get an overview; start with the environment, and t...more

Aaron Dignan on being complexity conscious and people positive

..., let's not have this policy that doesn't trust people. And then see what fills the space. And if we treat people with trust and respect, and we have transparency, often what fills the space is a fine solution that we didn't have to create. And so I think that that's another place to start, is just start by sto...more
