New Work stands for more freedom, responsibility, and meaning in the workplace. In self-organised teams, this means that traditional hierarchies fade into the background, decisions are made more decentrally, and collaboration is based on trust and initiative.
As attractive as this concept sounds, it also comes with clear challenges.
Key Challenges
- Mindset shift: Moving from control to trust. A fundamental change – for leaders as well as team members.
- Taking responsibility: Self-organisation does not mean less leadership, but more individual accountability – and that is not always easy.
- Transparency of competencies: Without clarity on strengths and areas for development, collaboration quickly becomes inefficient.
- Communication & collaboration: Open communication is essential. Without it, misunderstandings and frustration arise.
New Work Tools – Helpful, but Not Enough
Kanban boards, daily stand-ups, Holacracy roles, or digital collaboration platforms such as Miro or Asana provide structure and orientation. Yet:
Tools alone do not create successful self-organisation.
They only work sustainably if teamwork and personal development are consciously strengthened. Otherwise, structures remain superficial.
How Does the Transformation Succeed?
Self-organisation is not a state but a continuous learning and development process. It requires both mindset work and consistent action in daily life: clarifying roles, negotiating responsibilities, addressing conflicts, and learning from mistakes.
Our Contribution: Action-Oriented Team Development
At Stucki Leadership & Team Development, we focus where tools stop – on people and their collaboration. Our experiential, action-oriented method enables teams to reflect, test, and further develop their cooperation in real situations.
- Experience instead of talk: Real tasks make collaboration visible – with all its highs and lows. This creates trust and genuine development.
- Making competencies visible: Who brings which strengths? Who takes responsibility? We create clarity.
- Fostering personal growth: Self-organisation starts with the individual. Our coaching and training strengthen self-leadership and impact in the team.
- Mindset reflection: We support teams in recognising limiting patterns and replacing them with constructive ways of thinking.
In Our Seminars: Focus on What Truly Matters
Our seminars create the space for teams to take their collaboration to the next level. Personal development and collective growth go hand in hand – practical, sustainable, and impactful.
