Some good insights in this interview. I especially liked the comments and the closing statement regarding that "Self-managing teams isn't for everyone". It's easy to get caught up in the idea that self-management is some sort of "end game" for everyone when for some contexts and for some people it just doesn't work.
I think culture plays into this quite a bit. E.g. it's probably a lot easier to build these kind of teams within a Scandinavian culture, due to extremely strong belief in egalitarianism.
It kind of begs the question; how does one hire for this?
You just say that the teams are self-managed. I worked in self-managed teams and dont want to do that anymore. I will self-select myself out, because I hated the politics and toxicity it brought in.
