Use “onboarding” processes.
Matt M Perez
Each team need to design a conscious onboarding process. It could be minimal or very sophisticated, but it needs to be there. ------- I am starting to see the possibility of starting with Prosocial as toe-in-the-door, "we are to help your team be more collaborative." USE CASE: "It takes a long time to get new people productive" (ACME, Switchfly). "Let's help them design a lightweight onboarding process"… "Hmm, they need to learn to be collaborative. That would help new people become productive sooner"… "Hmm, they're ready to really do Agile. They can self-manage!"… (Alternatively, "Hey, we could apply what we learned to our Agile process, right.) "Hmm, it would make your company amazingly productive to spread, self-management to other teams. It would reduce costs, too. And It would make it easier and less costly to attract and keep them unicorns. Hell, you could disrupt Google's hiring practices of offering more money and stock; even their brand would not stand a chance against working at a company where you can manage yourself, without having to deal with a manager (do you know that people leave primarily because of their managers?) Of course, for self-management to really work well, you'll have to be part of the training. … We sure can include your CEO, too."
