Management 3.0

This is a summary of a great presentation by Jurgen Appelo – Agile Management: Leading Teams with a Complex Mind.

View #1: Energize People

People are the most important parts of an organization and managers must do all they can to keep people active, creative and motivated.

View #2: Empower Teams

Teams can self-organize and this requires empowerment, authorization and trust from management.

View #3: Align Constraints

Self-organization can lead to anything and it’s therefore necessary to protect people and shared resources and to give people a clear purpose and defined goals.

View #4: Develop Competence

Teams cannot achieve these goals if team members aren’t capable enough and managers must therefore contribute to the development of competence.

View #5: Grow Structure

Many teams operate within the context of a complex organization and thus it is important to consider structures that enhance communication.

View #6: Improve Everything

People, teams and organizations need to improve continuously to defer failure for as long as possible.
