There are a lot of management models and theories out there and they all sound great. The problem is that there’s a lot of theory, which we don’t always know how to implement in practical terms. For example, what can you do concretely on a Tuesday afternoon to work better with your colleagues?

People need actionable advice, things they can start doing next week. That’s where Management 3.0 comes in.

Challenges

Today, Agile supports organizations in allowing teams to adapt to changing requirements and deliver high-quality products more effectively. This requires teams to be self-organized. But self-organization is difficult; it requires a high level of trust, communication, and collaboration between team members. It also assumes that each member has the necessary skills and autonomy to make decisions without direct supervision. 

Traditional Managers often struggle with Agile because they:

  • are accustomed to a top-down management style where they are the ones making all the decisions and directing their team.
  • may lack the skills and knowledge necessary to delegate responsibilities and empower their team members to make decisions.
  • may have a hard time letting go of control and trusting their team members to work together and make decisions without their constant involvement.
  • may not be able to adapt to the changing demands of the modern business world, which requires more agility and flexibility in team structures and decision-making processes.
  • may not understand the value of self-organized teams and the benefits of distributed decision-making, such as increased creativity, improved productivity, and greater job satisfaction among teams.
