Like learning a new language, learning how to collaborate in a self-managing team requires us to be a beginner. Many times we might want to revert back to our native language of hierarchy, where we feel capable and confident. Becoming fluent in new ways of working takes commitment and practice.

“We are projects of collective self-creation. What if we approached human history that way? What if we treat people, from the beginning, as imaginative, intelligent, playful creatures who deserve to be understood as such? What if, instead of telling a story about how our species fell from some idyllic state of equality, we ask how we came to be trapped in such tight conceptual shackles that we can no longer even imagine the possibility of reinventing ourselves?”
― David Graeber, The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity

Felt good to deactivate my account on the dead bird site, I must say. Let's see what's on offer here! I'll be posting about new ways of working, self-managing organisations, and other nerdy/fun stuff.
