If you only have 30 minutes to tell somebody about Holacracy, what are the main things you would want to be sure to convey? I find myself in this situation every so often and am curious what this community recommends.
One thing I find it useful to mention is that there are only two types of required meetings (and you don't even have to go to them) : Tactical and Governance meetings. For new people I find that can make things more approachable.
Hi Matt,
Most interesting question… Usually the challenge rather is « Tell me about Holacracy in 5 minutes » or in a few words pitch.
30 mn is an intermediate format ; too long for a pitch… and too short for a conference (45 to 60 minutes). As speaking about Holacracy to candides may be a equilibrium exercise - the more you talk, the less new people understand - I would take 5 minutes to present Holacracy through a few key points. Speaking about Gov and Tac meeting is a pretty good idea. And then I’ld ask about any questions ;-)
As people like talking, let’s them talk. About his/her job, the company, the tensions he/her senses, the big issue of the company from his/her perspective… The main idea is to make her/him trying Holacracy, instead of speaking about it. Like soccer : just kick in the ball.
Hope that helps.
Dear Matt,
Here is a short presentation of Holacracy (about 30 minutes) from a Master Coach: http://igipartners.com/en/1h-p...tion-holacracy-lescp
Maybe it can inspire you.
Kind regards,
Margaux
