		<description>Bonnes questions François. Pourquoi n&#039;est-ce pas fait? J&#039;avancerais les réponses suivantes:
- parce que le statu quo n&#039;est pas questionné
- par habitude
- parce que personne n&#039;a démontré la valeur
- par peur de créer un précédent
- pour plein d&#039;autres raisons...

Une plus grande autonomie qui engendrerait une augmentation de l&#039;engagement individuel (et de l&#039;équipe), qui par conséquent augmenterait la performance.

Merci pour tes questions.</description>

		<description>Excellent! Comme toujours!

Pourquoi les gestionnaires ayant le pouvoir d&#039;amener ces changements n&#039;y songent pas? Ne les appliquent pas?

À quelle réaction t&#039;attends-tu lors de ce changement du côté des équipes?</description>

		<description>Thank you for your comment Guillaume. Although the concept may be difficult to apply within certain organizations, I believe letting people set their work schedules can work for most companies but there are certain prequisites:
- people must still deliver on their commitments and objectives;
- people are commited;
- team are self-organized.

Just like with &lt;a href=&quot;http://analytical-mind.com/2009/07/02/what-is-scrum/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Scrum&lt;/a&gt;, a self-organized team can accomplish great things as long as they operate within specific principles.</description>

		<description>Great post. I&#039;d be curious to know if a company has experimented such an approach before and what the results would be.

I see two obstacles to it though :

- When working as part of a team, you can&#039;t afford to be too off-beat from the team&#039;s work routine, which means all teammates generally have to do more or less the same hours to stay in phase.

- The paradigm may be relevant for some office jobs but certainly not in the industry with a production line involved, or in a job with strong, fixed time imperatives, or strong interaction with other people who have certain time habits... pretty much most of the jobs, in fact ;) 

Given these constraints, wouldn&#039;t adopting a freely-chosen, self-organized work hours approach boil down to doing exactly the same hours as the current imposed hours, most of the time ?</description>
