Self-organizing/self-management teams have been gaining a foothold in organizations as adoptees are discovering higher levels of accountability, performance, and clarity.

In this conversation, Doug will discuss the many forms of self-management, what types of organizations are prime for this approach, and strategies for implementation.

Sociocracy, developed in The Netherlands in the late 1960’s, is one of the earliest forms of self-organization for businesses.  Its impact has grown globally and is now utilized by myriads of organizations.

 Join Glenn Marks, PhD in his interview with Sheella Mierson, PhD as they discuss both the what and the “why” behind sociocracy and what types of organizations are best suited to this approach.

Have we become so politically correct when it comes to diversity and inclusion that we’re avoiding honest conversations?

Regardless of our ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or political affiliation, we have all experienced a level of ignorance towards people that differ from us.

As a species, humans are growing more accepting of others, yet adopting an open attitude at work is insufficient. In the United States, rates of racial segregation are currently higher than they were in the 70’s and having conversations about sex or race are nearly impossible without offending someone.

Join us for what is sure to be a lively conversation between Glenn Marks, PhD, MBA, and Willie Jackson, diversity, equity, and inclusion facilitator at ReadySet.
