Jake,

I'm curious what you mean by implement self-organization?  My reference
point is that it's all self-organizing regarless of what a leader does and
there are conditions that impact the nature of the self-organizing process
to slow it down to a stand-still (control) or accelerate it etc.

Do you mean implement open-space? or Agile approaches etc.

Best,

David
