Episode notes

The hardest fogt by far, was the levelling people into the career framework and getting them to accept management's decision of where they were currently at. Rolling out those levels was tricky because exactly what you said, everyone always put themselves in the staff yo level levels on,. And you had to have some conversations with them. The mistake i made was, as doing surveys, i think i'd like gurgle forms. Now, there's much better way, as you can use thattis cul champ or whatever.

Katie Wilde, the VP of Engineering at Ambassador Labs, joins us to spill the tea on Holacracy and decentralized management systems. Find out why these organizational structures don’t work for companies building software and how they can drive your best people away.

Katie also shared how her previous company, Buffer, transitioned from a Holacracy into a strong engineering leadership culture, through goal-oriented 1:1s, effective feedback, and creating a strong sense of responsibility among its leaders.
