Writing a purpose and style
We had a question about how to write a purpose. I have looked at a few examples on the H1 Glassfrog. Some seem like aspirational outcomes. By that I mean something to be worked towards but that likely can always be improved/refined in an ongoing way. They likely won’t be “accomplished” or complet...

Spread of domains and/or policies
Koen Veltman posted:What about differentiating the naming? If the concept is too broad then lets come up with easy to understand different names for each of the applications. Eg create a simple definition for the "Global-domain" (which is delegated out of the anchor circle) and the "Local-domain"...

(...) offering feedback to enhance fit (...)
In self management literature you ask the question "are you open to receive feedback?". If people say yes you can give it to them. If they say no then they are not likely in a place to receive it. Both replies will inform you as to their fit in a particualr role. If someone is open to feedback...

integrated decision making process
[@mention:455886150941203371]Thansk Chris--your article is very clear and helpful. I think that our job is to revisit this in a meeting and as you suggest, come ready to make a distinction between role and soul probe for the validity of the objections.

Failing To Object Out Of Fear
@Keith Jarvis I am noticing a lot of conversations about tone and intent when dealing with objections. Chris did a good exploration of this here (you have likely already seen it): https://blog.holacracy.org/a-b...eetings-c0929f1ff90fOne thing we talk about in our organization is CAPE. Compassion...

Writing a purpose and style
Thanks [@mention:457856795977603624]I like how you framed the aspirational purpose as leaving room for novelty or innovation. I think an aspirational purpose is the best becuase it is a role we thing should exist in an ongoing fashion. IF they ever did meet their purposes' directive, the role w...

Combine meetings
We do a similar thing where we have standing governance meetings after our standing tactical meetings. If the governance meeting is needed, we take the time. If not, we can move on without it. Earlier in our development process, we did a lot of governance meetings. Now we find we skip them mor...

Focus in a role assignment
Shamini,An example from our work is the "trainer role". We have partners that can train in a number of different content areas. Rather than have a role for each content area (trainer content area 1, trainer content area 2, etc...) we use the focus feature. So we have one role with one set of a...
