I’m autistic. It isn’t something people often talk about but there are so many of us out there that maybe we should talk about it more. I don’t really mind in the end whether I am ‘on the spectrum’ or not, but I do want others to realise that it’s ok to speak out. And it just might be your super-power if you can drag it out of the shadows and into the light. Mindfulness, over time, has allowed me to recognise and eventually expand the space between the events that occur (what happens), and how I choose to react. It doesn’t repress emotions, thoughts, desires, or fears; rather it allows us to understand them better and experience them more fully, all without the negative connotations that often overwhelm us before we know it.

When we create a hierarchy at work it can easily become more than just an HR-necessity to make line management functions have clear ownership. Too often it becomes indicative of how we work and think, placing ourselves mentally in a small group that reports to and interacts with the business via a single channel. Teams need to accept that the HR org-chart is useful only in the few cases where a direct single-person reporting line gives them clarity, a sense of safety, and of being cared for. Outside of that limited set of situations I want them to act as if we were a flat team without the hierarchy.
Are we focusing on the right questions? Build a culture of work from anywhere. What that looks like may be different depending on the team or department, but at the end of the day they are best positioned to self-organize and determine what makes sense for their contribution to the value you are bringing to your customers. And remember that while the pandemic forced a solution upon us, what happens going forward is within your control to guide and shape with the end goal to create safe spaces for high performing teams who can focus on delivery value.
