Start with why

Category: (Mis-) Understanding self-management

Organizations where leaders started talking about self-management as a goal in itself, without sharing a deeper "why", still have scar tissue to show for it. 

​Self-management is a concept, and few people get excited for their work place to embrace a concept. In this video, I will invite you to clarify what could be the most powerful invitation you could make.

Hints: link it to the deeper purpose of the organization, and to fundamental assumptions you hold about people and work.
