You talk about autonomy with alignment. Some might think they’re diametrically opposed but in fact they need to be used in concert to achieve great results -
One of the things that you see a lot is 'We want to have the freedom to work however we wanna work'. And I'm supportive of that to the extent of what we want to try to accomplish. What's the minimal level of standardization. What's the Minimal Viable Process, MVP? - Marc Cruth
Maybe it's workflows, maybe it's statuses, whatever it is. Find that minimal thing and say, this is the thing we need to align on and if we get alignment on that we can then now all of a sudden make better decisions. We can move faster layers up. - Marc Cruth
Autonomy with Alignment
similar to freedom operates better with constraints.
(see the kindergarten post below)
Everything can't be fully independent when there are interconnects, increase speed by reducing friction points to a minimum.
