Are we throwing managing out with the managers?

The leadership versus management discourse often characterises leadership as good and management as bad.

But managing work is vital to protect people from burnout, ensure work is valued, and resolve problems both inside and outside the team.

With the movement for self-managing, some organisations are seeking to remove the explicit Manager role, but without systems in place that can sometimes create a vacuum.

We will touch on what managing actually entails and examine an example of a system that can be used with or without an explicit Manager - creating an opportunity to experiment with self-management, or simply make it easier for a Manager (or Leader) to have the right conversations with the right people.
