    • People are leaving corporate jobs because they are seeking agency, non-traditional work arrangements and flexibility
  • We need DAOs to fix traditional work
    • Work today is designed to suck (ex. top-down leadership, close-door politics)
  • Greatest human coordination experiment of our time
  • Knowledge should be open-source

  • DAOversity
  • Compensation
  • Network Health
  • Decentralized Leadership
• Consulting
  • BanklessDAO
  • Aragon
  • Web2 Organizations

  • Newsletter of Decentralized Work
  • Journal of Decentralized Work
• Compensation: a study on compensation within DAOs
  • Adjust compensation structures as a DAO matures (e.g., bounty boards may be less suitable for larger DAOs)
  • Customize compensation structure to individual/team-level motivations (e.g., bounties and salaries better suited to more extrinsically motivated people)
  • Survey contributor compensation preferences and reactions over time and within groups – large group comparisons may miss important differences
• Decentralized Leadership: a study on developing leadership within DAOs

(Wocken, 2022)

• Shared Leadership
  • Shared leadership emerges in conditions in which teammates know where to go and how to get there (shared purpose), lend a hand to each other (social support), and can influence team direction and actions (voice)
  • Shared leadership positively relates to how much and how well a team gets the job done and how much teammates stick together. Effectiveness may depend on circumstances
  • Shared leadership is more beneficial when team members trust each other, depend on one another to get the job done, and have clear tasks
  • Ultimately, hierarchy can harm teams because it activates conflicts more than it helps members’ coordination
