In this podcast Shane Hastie, InfoQ Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Doug Kirkpatrick, organisational change expert, author and advocate for new ways of working. \n\nWhy listen to this podcast:\n\n\u2022\tDecentralization is replacing hierarchy and bureaucracy. Organisations need to be directly connected to the outside world and agilely adapt to changes in their ecosystems\n\u2022\tThe idea of people managing other people will fade and be replaced by people connecting to a mission and meaning, and managing themselves in the same way they manage themselves in their lives\n\u2022\tMandating a change is command and control in a different guise \u2013 people need to be part of the change and opt in to be part of the changed organisation\n\u2022\tTwo simple, yet profound, principles: \no\tNo use of force \u2013 abandon command and control authority\no\tPeople keep commitments that they make\n\u2022\tSpeaking up when something seems wrong is a crucial self-managing competency. If you choose not to speak up about a particular issue, you have chosen to tolerate it\n\nNotes and links can be found on: http://bit.ly/2l35tWS\n\nYou can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq
