The Company We Seek

We're adding unique talent and diverse perspectives to our team. We've grouped the areas of expertise that make folks especially well-suited to The Ready into three categories: Future of Work, Self-Management, and Transformation Experience.

Future of Work: theoretical grounding

• Working knowledge of systems thinking, holacracy/sociocracy, agile, design thinking, self-organization, teal, and related disciplines

• Deep understanding of Brave New Work

• Familiarity with recognized FoW thinkers, practitioners, practices, and disciplines

Self-Management: doing our own work so we can show up for our clients and each other

• Continually working to expand internal locus of control

• Always learning and personally evolving

• Noticing personal tensions and making requests or proposals to meet needs

• Comfortable working in ambiguity, asking questions, asking for help, and saying "I don't know"

Transformation Experience: making work more meaningful, adaptive, and human

• Well honed contracting, facilitation, and system coaching skills

• Adopting a principle-based (not formulaic) approach to transformation

• Delivering transformation through iterative, experimental, and emergent practices

README BEFORE YOU CONTINUE

Many of The Ready’s principles and practices are unique, as we regularly explore the future of work using our own company as a laboratory. As part of our application process, we provide links that explain our way of working—and while these agreements may change in the future, they reflect what you’re signing up for today.

You will answer a yes or no question about each of these agreements within the 'your details' section at the top of this page. If you answer "No" to any questions, please don’t complete the rest of the application. Our operating system is not for everyone, and that's okay! Be sure to download the agreements or save their links as you won't be able to reference them once you have submitted your application.

Please note the application questions have a 250 word limit and we will not be reading or reviewing any external links in the answers.
