The Power of Transparency

January 7, 2020

At Management 3.0 we value transparency a lot. So much so that it’s one of our values when giving bonus points to each other. We focus a lot of our content, blogs and podcasts on the value of transparency. For instance we spoke with Hailley Griffis, writer for Buffer a social media company, about how...

by Taylor Tomita One of the most difficult moments as a leader is when you come head-to-head in an argument with a staff member. Seen differently however, and one of the greatest challenges a leader has is to ensure everybody benefits from differences of opinion in the workplace. Nearly three-quarters of senior managers hate meetings...

In an insightful podcast with one of our longest standing facilitators, Ralph van Roosmalen, we dove into how to create teams with trust, delegation and values, particularly teams without managers.

by Devin Morrissey Most people want to be around that one person who laughs, smiles, and appreciates them. The same applies to a company, no matter how big or small. Employees want to feel recognized and work in a positive environment that likes to have fun. Your company culture may be fun and positive, but...

by Ryan Behrman I like walking through parks at the end of a day of work. This one was Greenwich Park in London. Walking alongside me was Andrea, a coach and fellow facilitator. I was in the middle of a very challenging couple of weeks with a client organisation, and immediately started offloading all my...

by Sam, Management 3.0 Team One of the hardest skills to master is the art and the power of listening. Not only is listening a key factor in being an effective communicator and a strong leader, it’s also one of the basic necessities when it comes to enhancing our emotional intelligence and living in the moment — which...

by Sam, Management 3.0 Team This is the second article in a two-part series about feedback. A little while back our team set out to do what we do best — experiment! We realized that it was nice to receive positive reinforcement and acknowledgement through our peer-to-peer recognition program, but that something more was missing...

by Sam, Management 3.0 Team One of the most common things I hear when speaking to clients about whether or not to ask for feedback is that they’re afraid of the answers. These are people who want to improve and develop personally and professionally, yet they aren’t truly ready to deep dive into the unknown. And...

by Sam, Management 3.0 Team A few months ago I watched the documentary, The Making of a Murderer. For those who haven’t seen it – and I highly recommend you do – I won’t spoil the gut-wrenching plot. I’ll just say that it’s an extremely emotive true story about a family that is dealt one...

by Jennifer Riggins “How do I deal with an employee that is constantly late?” This question was posed at this month’s Management 3.0 Meetup in London. Jurgen, who was our guest speaker, said “Who cares?” because he shares the belief that people should be able to come in when they want. Of course, this became...

by Sam, Management 3.0 Team A person’s success in life is measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations they’re willing to have. Rarely have I come across a quote that resonated as strongly as this one by Tim Ferris in the 4-Hour Work Week. It struck such a chord that I’ve modeled my business on...

by Jennifer Riggins Some of us like giving presentations, some of us don’t. And all of us have room for improvement. But we all have to make presentations if we want to move up the ladder, to get funding, to sell your benefits, or to spread our experience and experiments in happiness at work. As part of...

by Andy Cleff The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place. After a several decades of collocation, I’ve started working with distributed teams. And I’ve observed first hand how incredibly liberating a remote structure is for myself, our teams and our organization. We are able to hire the best...

by Jurgen Appelo I recently participated in a MIX Hangout interview at Hack Management. One of the questions Polly LaBarre asked me was, “What’s your opinion about meetings?” Well, that question is easy. If you don’t like a meeting, don’t attend. That’s my humble opinion. When a meeting organizer wants people to attend, she should...
