Alexis Gonzales-Black is a principal designer at IDEO. Holacracy - One kind of self-organization practice. Distribute authority into the hands of those that are doing the work. Series of circles that are self-running startups or businesses. Put the organization’s purpose above your own ego. Shift to Holacracy can be challenging. What are the self-advocacy skills that people need to be able to be successful? Where do you have influence over these structures? Managing ourselves in a really interactive way. We build stories around what might happen if we take a step out of our comfort zone. The story you tell yourself is so important. Storylines We’re never going to get it right! We are a flawed species and we need to give people the ability to try new things. Allow tension to happen. Tension is inevitable. Own your tension and be the one who is responsible for resolving that. My job as a self-manager is to deal with that. Our job title becomes a uniform we can’t take off, rather than being a value we bring to the school What do others expect of me? What do others need of me? What are some of the roles that I can offload to someone else? Role Marketplace - bring your roles to the marketplace and share the load!
