about work have
been challenged?
Don’t Return to Work – Reinvent Work!

Autonomy Accountability

saturday™.
Work isn’t a place you go,
it’s something you do™.

many hours they work™.
Parkinson’s law:
Work expands
to fill the
time allotted
returning to work:
policing where &
when people work.
Reinventing work:
Clear strategy & purpose
and enabling people to get
work done when, where,
how they can do their best.
HOLACRACY
returning to work:
meeting inefficiency
and overload
Reinventing work:
tactical meetings and
processing tensions
from anywhere
SELF MANAGEMENT
agreements at
morningstar
Returning to work:
Top down, managers
needed to hold others
accountable
Reinventing work:
peer agreements,
feedback and
accountability
What’s changed breakouts
What pandemic
practices do you want
to keep or enhance?
What new practices
can you
prototype/test?
To do:
Focus on the work and outcomes, not on policies of where
and when people should be “at” work
Challenge old ways of meeting – are there better ways to
communicate, ensure everyone is heard, and get work done
together?
Teach everyone how to give and receive feedback and
create a culture of regular feedback up, down, and across
make work awesome
