Join us as we dive into how our “radical Kiwi experiment” in self-selection has evolved into a global movement. From traditional banks to tech startups, remote teams to hybrid workplaces, organizations worldwide are discovering the power of trusting people to choose their own teams.
In this talk, we’ll unpack the latest insights from the second edition of Creating Great Teams: How Self-Selection Lets People Excel. You’ll learn what’s new, why self-selection works, and how companies have successfully implemented it.
