Gamifying Glassfrog
Great question... We set up metrics measuring the progress of each circle re self-sufficiency in Holacracy practice. These metrics are published transparently. What I have observed with some of our clients implementing Holacracy, is that this catalyse some fun & emulation between the circles.

HolacracyOne Purpose
I think purpose of H1 is to steward the journey of Holacracy developing and manifesting its own purpose - Holacracy by itself has also a purpose which is different from H1's - such as parents have a different purpose than their children.

Strategy Evolution in Holacracy

Yep @Fred A Objection is a reason why adopting the proposal would cause harm or move us backwards. In such case - and there are others I've encountered - such proposal would cause harm to the circle as it would limit the Leak Link Role in his capacities for assigning people.

Adding accountabilities to the sub-circle
[@mention:558068091793200931] Short answer is yes - Sub-circle's LL has to go to governance to update role(s) in order to make sure the structure of sub-circle may enact such new accountability placed onto the circle.

3.3.1 interpretation
[@mention:491073019750087335] As this person is considered as a core circle member during the meeting, in my interpretation she may do anything allowed by the process, like asking clarifying questions, giving a reaction, an objection (NVGO for instance) and participate during integration if any.

3.3.1 interpretation
Francesco Lomonaco posted:Thanks for your answer. For me, this rule does not make much sense, because if she is there "solely to aid the link in processing a specific Tension" why she should work on other governance tensions probably completely out of context for her? Still puzzled.In such case, ...

Domains in Sub-Circles
Geoff posted:Per 2.1.2, if I am a Role filler in a Circle and the Circle has a Domain, I may "use and impact" the domain. Does that also apply to Roles in any Sub-Circles of the Circle that owns the Domain? Yep (Let's assume we are in the case such Domain has not been delegated to a role and the...

How do you manage projets?
From my experience, I wouldn't go for a circle per project... especially if you use some Scrum and/or Kanban. I.e. if you use Scrum, you may encode into governance Scrum practice, which is we did with several of our clients - kinda like a Scrum App. As [@mention:450819477778576386], I've seen som...

What's your process for Role Allocation?
Hey [@mention:526540758988153729] Mohammed Ali Vakil posted: I'd like to start out with something simple that gives a voice to the person to accept the role, and some kind of process / criteria when assigning or removing a person from a role. You have already got such threshold as any Partner bei...

What's your process for Role Allocation?
Thanks [@mention:449693036223847456] - Your comment is very useful and at the same time, I find that very often, ex-CEOs adopting Holacracy sense tensions re the fact people still look at them for approval and, then may decide to "burn some bridges" for reducing the old hierarchical power dynamic...

Do managers compromise
Every company needs smart people enough that master the business and skilled enough to sense what are the business needs at all times. They are usually called "Business Leaders". Holacracy is just a tool that don't remove such org. needs. It allows those people - once they get how to use the tool...

Resignation from roles
+1 to [@mention:491495232183315418] - [@mention:577070702037707949] You may constraint resignation and add a Transition App to secure the hand over. That's what we have at iGi for years now and work quite well. Regretfully in french https://app.glassfrog.com/policies/593 !

Rôle versus actionnaire
[@mention:524711069719741845] Actionnaire n'est pas forcément un rôle. Ce que tu évoques est le processus d'ancrage et la façon dont les ratifueurs veulent jouer. Chez IGi, comme dans d'autres organisations que j'ai accompagné, un lien transverse qui représente les cationnaires peut suffire. Il e...

Case Examples service desk organizations
Love your comment [@mention:451241754031062437] I think a key insight here when it comes to design structure is to pay attention, take care of employee experience. Which should be common sense as Holacracy is really a tool available to employees, i.e. at their service and not the other way around...

Is Holacracy a kind of democracy
Brian Robertson posted:I sure wouldn't say Holacracy uses "consent" as a model. The only place I see Holacracy using what I would call "consent" is in the relationship contract between the human and the organization (i.e. the employment contract and any basic behavioral agreements that go with i...

How to decide on the lead link
[@mention:568484858377802720] As written in the Constitution (Section 5.2.1) "The Ratifiers may appoint an initial Lead Link". If any Lead Link, nothing is said re the decision process to choose/select such Lead Link. So back to your question, it's up to the Ratifiers to define such process, coul...

How to decide on the lead link
[@mention:491495232183315418] in the case I mentioned, they do have an Anchor circle without a LL (like a Board), and they chose one of the three for being the LL of the General Company Circle (sub-circle of the Anchor one).

Holacracy and profit?
+1 on Brian's comment. In addition, new laws called Pacte make no longer short profit for the shareholders the main goal, and the Civil Code is evolving at least in France towards companies driven by a mission, called "Raison d'Être".

System Knowledge & Power
I fully agree with Brian's comments and I would add that one of the key success factors, if not the most important, is that the CEO masters the use of Holacracy in all its nuances as quickly as possible to deal with all the tensions he senses in relation to the needs of the organization he is abl...
