“(un)manager: someone who helps organizations meet/exceeds its goals through elevating people as opposed to elevating themselves. ”
My work over the past couple of years has largely focused on the manager class. This is due to the following two questions:
What do managers do when teams are self-managing?
Where do we source masters of scrum? Individuals who are capable of coaching teams, product owners, and the organization.
It has become increasingly clear that these two questions are interlinked. For this to work managers need to unlearn some of the very behaviors that have made them successful in the past. I propose managers and management become re-framed and a new set of behaviors adopted.
