Zoom on Emergence: a GoFish! Collective conversation

The GoFish! Collective meeting highlighted the balance between structure and surrender, exploring the themes of control, emergence, and the importance of psychological safety. Members shared personal reflections, emphasizing the necessity of trust and curiosity in fostering genuine collaboration. The dialogue revealed that meaning is co-created, relying on interpretation and engagement.

Distributed leadership in practice

The case study examines a creative agency facing high turnover, stressed management, and disengaged employees. After implementing distributed leadership, where teams set their own targets and make their own decisions, the company saw reduced turnover, lower sick days, improved client satisfaction, and increased revenue and profitability.

Get started with self-management

Companies that prioritize employee happiness and trust see increased success. Taking a self-management approach and focusing on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs can lead to improved motivation and financial stability. By giving employees autonomy and addressing their basic needs, organizations can foster engagement and productivity. Encouraging innovation and change can further enhance teamwork and performance.

Why do Organisations need more trained Facilitators?

The lack of cohesion in organizations can be addressed by incorporating Open Space Technology (OST) and training facilitators in this approach. OST fosters cross-departmental collaboration, promotes innovation, and enhances stakeholder dialogues. However, challenges such as the absence of clear agendas and the need for skilled facilitators hinder its widespread use in organizations. By embracing OST, companies can transition to a more adaptive and responsive organizational model.
