What a few future-facing businesses are discovering is that one of these essential features is autonomy—in particular, over four aspects of work: what people do, when they do it, how they do it, and whom they do it with. As Atlassian’s experience shows, Type I behavior emerges when people have autonomy over the four T’s: their task, their time, their technique, and their team.

“If you don’t pay enough, you can lose people. But beyond that, money is not a motivator. What matters are these other features.” And what a few future-facing businesses are discovering is that one of these essential features is autonomy—in particular, autonomy over four aspects of work: what people do, when they do it, how they do it, and whom they do it with.

Companies may be set up to make money, but their people often long to make a difference, and this tendency seems to be growing. If we want to make work more desirable, we need to understand and answer that longing.

Tell the Team That It Can Work How It Chooses

Proclaiming to the team that it has freedom to determine how to organize is an incredible thing to do, especially if it is used to working in a rigid process.

How does your team/Collective/org make decisions? How do you ensure all voices are heard?

Instead of arguing with the dissenter and explaining why that person is wrong, members of the group should ask curious questions.

optimizes for the empowerment of the teams by focusing on the dimensions of ownership, autonomy, and alignment.

Just sayin'

With larger companies that didn't grow up in the product team model, the starting point is usually when they moved to Agile, where they were instructed to organize around small, durable teams. How the company decides to divide up the teams cstablishes the topology. Some topologics are established in response to a major change of product vision and/or the product architecture. For whatever reason, if the company makes a drastic change to strategic context of their product, then the topology may need to be revisited. Regardless of the reason for reviewing your topology, you should optimize for the empowerment of the teams by focusing on the dimensions of ownership, autonomy, and alignment.

#Leadership in a self-managed environment is different, however. The source is definitely not position, title, or heredity. The only indication of a leader is whether someone has followers or not.

addresses autonomy, ownership, alignment and team topology.

Don't be surprised to find in the years coming to see used in more and more organizations as their preferred method.

The bottom line is that, if you are a product leader, the empowerment of your company's product teams is greatly impacted by your topology choices. Optimizing for empowerment requires balancing three interrelated goals: ownership, autonomy, and alignment.

There are two aspects to diversity to think about in your organization.

When most people are talking about #diversity they are referring to social diversity. That is solved by removing unconscious bias from your #hiring methods.

But the other aspect to diversity that you don't hear so much is cognitive diversity - and that is where the changes to #innovation come in.

My advice is to find a way to address both of these in your hiring strategy and practices.

#ManagementInnovation #AdaptiveOM

Eliminating unconscious bias assists with finding the best individuals regardless of race or gender—but it doesn’t, in and of itself, optimize cognitive diversity. These two challenges are conceptually distinct. Great organizations need to do both.

Stakeholders and customers shouldnt be the source of what to build. They provide data, insight and constraints but not the features.

XP, and #Scrum took us down the wrong path. Not maliciously, it was the best thing we could do at the time with what we knew. But now we need to change to different and better ways of working and thinking about work.

Give teams problems to solve, not features. This will keep engagement high and result in better outcomes.

#BetterWaysOfWorking #ModernProductManagement #ManagementInnovation

When I'm hiring, I look for someone who gets really excited about the problems we have to solve. You want them to wake up in the morning thinking, God, this is hard. I want to do this! Being given a great problem to tackle and the right colleagues to tackle it with is the best incentive of all.
