Chair

Role Attribute

Chair

The Chair is responsible for moderating and overseeing the work done in a Forum and may be a point of contact for its stakeholders.

Role Attributes:

Chief • Captain • Chair • Enabler • Scribe • Envoy • Agent • Guide • Producer • Director • Guru • Creator • Performer • Maven • Custodian • Inspector • (custom)

Purpose

The Chair is a leader of a self-organizing group, not a line manager or people manager.

The Chair may act as a tie-breaker in the case of difficult team decisions.

Notes

The Chair may represent a Forum towards Chiefs and other stakeholders.

The Chair is similar to the Guild Coordinator in the “Spotify Model“.

Rules / Constraints

  • There is typically only one Chair in a Forum but pairing and rotation are good options.

  • The Chair is not the line manager of the people in a Forum.

You don’t create a happy culture by rolling in the consultants, toppling the autocratic managers, installing a democratic system, and pulling out. I’m not touching a tool that’s so fundamentally flawed.
