Balancing autonomy and alignment.
If you are a manager you know it's easier said than done. How much autonomy do you give to still be in control. How much alignment do you create without being accused of being "old-school"?
In this session, we'll talk about what is needed to create this balance in a safe way and safely create a workplace where teams can be autonomous without having to worry as a manager if they are working on the right things.
If you are a manager, this session might be interesting to help you keep your team engaged. You will learn how to move authority to where the information is (the team or your managers). We'll practice with translating business opportunities into a set of constraints solutions to that opportunity should adhere.
As a team member, this session will teach you what it is you can ask from your manager(s) for you to work autonomously. We will work out what the steps are from "my manager tells me what to do" to i can "act now, ask forgiveness later".
