Removing an accountability: Limiting role?

01/15/2018

Hey, we had last time an objection in a Governance meeting, in which we had difficulties to figure out if it's a valid objection or not. Part of the proposal was to remove an accountability from a certain role. The role filler of that role objected, because she saw that accountability necessary. ...

Hey everyone, I hope some of you can share some help since maybe you've encountered a similar situation: We recently tried to resolve a tension, regarding the copyright of materials we use. In our General Circle, we have a role Legal Guardian with the purpose "Ensuring that we don't run into lega...

Org Space / Personal Space

03/18/2019

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some ideas/experiences how to cover the "Org Space meets Personal Space" issue in a way that it makes sense for an organization that practices Holacracy. Meaning: How to do things like Holidays? I stumbled upon https://blog.holacracy.org/policies-governing-people-in-h...

We're facing a similar issue, having 12 role fillers for one role. It's a trade-off. Having all partners as core members in the circle, slows down Gov and Tactical meetings a lot.Excluding them and having them represented in the meeting by just one partner, makes the meetings more efficient, but ...

Article 4.1 and "Circle Members"

09/04/2018

Hi Angela,I can't tell how it should or shouldn't be done, but can share the experience from my organization.We've adopted Holacracy 2 years ago and have 20 partners (to give context). For long, we interpreted it in the same way you do (duty applies to all, not just to fellow circle members).Only...

Org Space / Personal Space

Thank you very much for your replies, everyone!Resonates a lot with me, to simply do this within the operational circle instead of in a P&P circle. There isn't any restriction from another circle, so why not decide on such things directly in the circle that cares about whether we have enough ...
