What’s a team's ideal size? Well... How is it gathering? Why is it gathering? What skills does its work actually require? The answers to these Qs can help determine if a team's too big, too small, or even a team at all 😬 @theready sizes up team size 👇 apple.co/3NzRzYN

DAOs need explicit, clear structures We’ve developed this myth that ambiguity is good for decentralization In reality, ambiguity centralizes power to those “in the know”

When leaders are aggressive and combative, people stop helping each other. 8 studies, 147k people: dominant leadership teaches people that success is a zero-sum game, motivating taking rather than giving. Cutthroat competition at the top undermines collaboration across levels.

From day one, @theready has been passionate about design. We've endeavored to create a brand that inspires, provokes, and honors the people doing brave new work around the world. But now it's time for that commitment to go to eleven. We are hiring a full-time brand designer! 1/2

Transforming a 125-year-old organization in a regulated industry like biotechnology can seem difficult to achieve, but Roche BeLux is proving that it is far from impossible. Cool case study of our work with them. medium.com/the-ready/peop…

best of the best @samspurlin with @theready about how this mtg structure can transform your team. What action meetings aren’t about: theater, planning, or strategy. What they're about: unblocking work, getting team members what they need, & taking action. apple.co/3fd1ZOT

If we try to operationalize a new strategy into an organization’s original OS, which presumably created the need for a shift in strategy in the first place, we risk being thwarted by the forces that prompted our desire to change. @samspurlin @theready medium.com/the-ready/why-…
