Practices related to self-management

Self-managed organizations adapt continuously, fluidly, and organically provided a few basic practices are put in place. Frederic Laloux emphasizes the following three practice in Reinventing Organizations (pp. 270—271):

1. Decision-making (by consent): Make sure that all can make any decision, as long as they seek advice from people affected and people who have expertise.
2. Conflict resolution: Establish a conflict resolution mechanism that will help people work their way through conflicts.
3. Peer-based evaluation: Be transparent with people’s salaries so that colleagues can react with advice to increase or lower the number.

Sociocracy explicitly addresses the decision-making and peer-based evaluation through its consent decision-making and performance review processes.
