What to do with support functions?Category: Self-management - getting started
What happens to the role of support functions as you transition to self-management? Support functions are often an integral part of the "power over" in traditional hierarchies, so prepare for some profound changes.
To answer these questions, I find it helpful to disaggregate what support functions do into four different roles they play. In this video, I'll share how each of these roles naturally adapts to self-management. And I'll share how people who work in support functions might end up with less "power over" but more joy in their work. |
