Better than delegating is setting up systems where the team can be self organising. If you can sell higher up on not being too deadline focused, this can work well, the team can learn how to prioritise and figure out a crisis. A good sign is if you can go on a 4 week vacation with very little to “hand over”.
- jondubois 8y agoManagement as it exists today is bullshit. Complete waste of time. Scheduling meetings to discuss the business process is a waste of time. A good manager does not need processes, they just need to make sure that stuff gets done to a high standard. That just means delegating tasks to people you can trust to complete the tasks. If you can't trust your people and need expensive project management software to get the necessary visibility to manage the shit out of them, then you already failed at your job.
- krageon 8y agoWhile it's tempting to ignore the realities of working with large groups of people in favour of a simplified model that is easy to problem-solve against, it's not particularly useful as a way to figure out what to do in real life.
- quickthrower2 8y agoI said systems on purpose, not processes. Systems can exist in the heads and habits of the team, without a JIRA workflow or such like.
- jondubois 8y agoI didn't disagree with your statement. I was adding to it.
