How Self-Selection Lets People Excel

•

0 likes•288 views

Here’s a radical idea: Trust people to know best and let them decide which team they should work in. Let them Self-Select! Self-selection is the simplest, fastest and most efficient way to form stable(ish) teams, based on the belief that people are at their happiest and most productive if they can choose what they work on and who they work with. In this talk I will share a repeatable process and a wealth of experiences from more than five years of running Self-Selection events in small and large organisations all over the world.

How to run a self-selection

No way!

Let’s do it!
Status quo
What if? 😀
But, what if? 😢

1. Deliver to purpose
2. 3-7 people
3. Co-located (same city)
A well-formed team

How to choose your team?
1. What can I teach?
2. What can I learn?
3. Is this fair to my company?

1. People liked the process
2. People liked where they ended up
3. People mostly work in the team they expected

@smamol nomad8.com
1. We can trust people
2. We know what skills to hire for
3. We know which areas are less attractive

@smamol nomad8.com
It’s all about relationships!

Aren’t people going to start
arguing and bitching?
Is some poor person not going to be picked?
What if someone wants to switch?
Aren’t there going to be really unpopular areas?
Can you please add additional rules
and constraints?

Create Predictable, Scalable Sales Revenue - Aaron Ross & Ken Krogue - Sales ...

InsideSales.com

This document summarizes key points from a webinar on creating predictable sales revenue, including: 1. Executives often make three fatal mistakes when trying to create predictable revenue such as treating all leads the same, marketing to the wrong prospects, and making salespeople do prospecting. 2. Salespeople should not be responsible for prospecting because they are not good at it, do not like it, and it is not repeatable or scalable. 3. To create predictable and scalable sales growth, companies need to develop specialized sales roles including dedicated prospectors and enable teams to control their sales pipelines.

Why Choose A Startup?

Rand Fishkin

This document discusses reasons to choose working at a startup over an established company and provides tips for getting a job at a startup. It argues that startups allow you to compress your career progress and wealth building into just a few years compared to a lifetime at a traditional company. While startups have more risk, the impact of your work is more visible. It also notes that startup jobs have less red tape, fewer politics, and allow you to leapfrog roles. The tips suggest researching the company thoroughly, emphasizing metrics, ensuring you are a strong culture fit, using creative resumes and messages, and potentially doing unpaid work if rejected but a strong fit.

Education Loan Essay

Amy Hart

Bruno Bettelheim argues in his essay that fairy tales are more beneficial for children than realistic stories. He claims fairy tales allow children to work through problems and emotions in a way that realistic stories do not. Fairy tales provide reassurance, hope, escape and consolation for children as they face troubles. Meanwhile, Bettelheim asserts that modern stories fail to encourage growth and give life lessons in the same way as classic fairy tales.

Don’t Mine for Gold When You Can Sell Shovels - The Power of B2B Businesses

Matt Ward

Matt Ward realized that rather than mining for gold himself by directly selling products on Amazon, there was greater long-term success and profit to be found in selling tools and services to other entrepreneurs doing the same. While Ward found initial short-term success with his own Amazon business, he later sold it and pivoted to creating software and a podcast providing resources for other Amazon sellers. Ward learned that the largest opportunities are in facilitating and supporting businesses, not necessarily directly participating or competing on price in crowded markets.

Lean et Agilité reposant tous deux sur l'empirisme, la pensée scientifique y jouant un rôle clé, permettant à tout le reste de faire du sens, je me suis donc poser la question, serait-il possible d’utiliser le Toyota Kata pour une transformation Agile ?"
