126. What Does Self-Management Mean to You?

Fact: We’re self-management nerds. (And if you’ve been hanging out with us for a while, you probably are, too.) We could talk and think about the how of work all day, every day. But it turns out that for some, getting into the nitty-gritty of roles, working agreements, and governance isn’t their definition of a good time.

Which begs some bigger questions:

• Does working in self-management demand being jazzed about org design?
• Is there enough support for those showing up to the self-management party with curiosity about the what of work but not about the how?
• And can we imagine new and adaptive ways for more people to thrive in self-management?

In this episode of Brave New Work, Aaron Dignan and Rodney Evans dig into these important questions and more.
