Aaron Dignan, author of Brave New Work enlightened me to two culture types:
Permission cultures don’t allow you to do anything unless you’ve been told or given authority.
Constraint cultures allow you can do anything unless there is consensus that you can’t or shouldn’t.
Having worked in both, I can say with confidence that working in #2 is far better than type #1.
However, for #2 to be viable, they have to be attached to an aligned culture. A constraint culture that is not aligned can lead to more wasted work and insecure workers.
Without alignment, effective constraint is not possible.
If we don’t know what the destination is, how can we explore roads that guide us in that direction?
We see this in most DAOs at the moment.
Sure “ask for forgiveness rather than permission” - but if your project gets completely ignored because there isn’t a north star, moral and motivation diminishes.
So here is my riff: be intentional about creating an aligned culture first, then on top of that cultivate a constraint culture.
