Self-management

Self-management is the idea that teams and individuals can often solve problems on their own, without needing someone to tell them what to do or how to do it.

Self-organized teams and individuals get the job done without authoritarian supervision.

In modern self-management organizations, individuals are entrusted with the responsibility of achieving results without constant supervision.

This doesn't mean there's no management or coaching.

On the contrary, self-organized individuals spend less time asking permission and more time seeking feedback and coaching.

In return, managers spend less time telling people what to do and more time helping their colleagues find solutions.
