...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.

...pletely the opposite of how things were. So self management - in a short period of time - has resulted in empowerment of every employee.

...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.

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.

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.

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.
