the dark art of autonomy
DESCRIPTION
The future of teamwork has a distinctively autonomous slant to it. While much attention is being paid to the tools that keep a team running, little is paid to the psychological health of team members. Like it or not, we're primates with social needs. Pixels don't engage us like personalities. Carl will review the issues teams face now and in the future. He'll also share the path to creating a warm, nurturing environment where hierarchies are just a footnote.TRANSCRIPT

It’s fine that we’re not going to Crested Butte (although I think there is a value in there that is seriously being overlooked, IMHO)… but Carl, it would have been nice if you would have discussed it with your team first. I don’t even feel like you have a good enough idea of where we’re at with the projects… how could you?˝
