Management is abouthuman beings. Its task is to
make people capable of joint performance […].
This is what organization is all about, and it is the reason
that management is the critical, determining factor.
Management: Revised Edition, 2008Peter F. Drucker
Management is too important to be left to
the managers.
Jurgen Appelo
I think the next century will be the century of
complexity.

Complexity theory is […] about the dynamics of
change in a system.
Irene Sanders, “Business, Complexity, and ‘New Science’”The Interaction of Complexity and Management
[…] a new theory of business that places people and
relationships into dramatic relief.
Roger Lewin, Birute Regine, “Complexity in Human Terms”The Interaction of Complexity and Management
A team is a complex adaptive system (CAS), because it consists of parts (people) that form a system (team), which shows complex behavior while it keeps adapting to a changing environment.
1. Address complexity with complexity2. Use a diversity of perspectives3. Assume dependence on context4. Assume subjectivity and coevolution5. Anticipate, adapt, explore6. Develop models in collaboration7. Shorten the feedback cycle8. Steal and tweak

People are the most important parts of an
organization and managers must do all they can to keep people active, creative, and
motivated.
Extrinsic MotivationDesire to achieve goal GReward result RAssuming R leads to G
Problems with non-linear effects

1. Put the motivator cards in order, from unimportantto important
2. (You may leave out any cards you don’t want to use.)
Exercise: Moving Motivators
3. Consider an important change in your work (for example, becoming a more Agile organization)
4. Move cards up when the change is positive for that motivator; move them down when the change is negative
Exercise: Moving Motivators
positive change
negative change
Teams can self-organize, and this requires empowerment,
authorization, and trust from management.

The four types of trust
1. Tell: make decision as the manager
2. Sell: convince people about decision
3. Consult: get input from team before decision
4. Agree: make decision together with team
5. Advise: influence decision made by the team
6. Inquire: ask feedback after decision by team
7. Delegate: no influence, let team work it out
The Seven Levels of Delegation
Self-organization can lead to anything, and
it’s therefore necessary to protect people and shared resources…
…and to give people a clear purpose and
defined goals.

Exercise: Goal Setting Criteria
Teams cannot achieve their goals if team members
aren’t capable enough, and
managers must therefore
contribute to the development of
competence.

Slack Time
• Aim for 80% utilization of people• Use the remainder (20%) for slack• Use slack for experiments and
emergencies
Celebrate!
• “What did we learn?”• “What did we do well?”• (reinforce learning & good
practices)
Version One: Annual State of Agile 2013
Many teams operate within the context of a complex organization, and thus it is important to consider structures that enhance communication.
The workplace is a network
<- preferred
Cross-functional teams
Have Generalizing Specialists
T
Business Guilds
• Let people organize around certain topics
• Such as specific technologies or disciplines
• Have them form virtual communities
People, teams, and organizations need
to improve continuously to
defer failure for as long as possible.
