Holacracy solves messiness… and limits creativity
Holacracy values rationality and order. According to its rules, oOnly one person is allowed to speak at a time and the usual back and forth style of conversation that's natural to extraverts is not acceptable
It's about the cultivation of thoughtfulness. However, one of the unintended consequences of Holacracy is that it makes extraverts frustrated. They can't stand the rigidity of what seems to them as lifeless interactions.
Not Holacracy – find the right balance instead
Endless debate can make any progress difficult. In these cases, when you manage to stop endless debate and make meetings useful and effective, that can help. The balance of the styles of both the introverts and the extraverts must be found, according to an article on the management-issues.com website.
A meeting protocol can help to create a truly effective network-based management system which can eventually help you to align dispersed activities.
Especially at the beginning of a meeting, when initial information is being gathered, only one person can speak at a time. Then, at other times, participants can discuss issues in small groups, focused on a task.
Sometimes there can be a structured large group discussion facilitated by someone who can guide the participants through. Participants can then build on each other’s ideas. In that way, a messy process brings creative insights.
