## Our community management style
- The **bazaar style** of people management
- characterized by a high degree of **autonomy** and collaboration
- with problems and solutions being **identified and defined by the team**.
- Its advantage is that it can produce innovative and resilient results
- It can also create a sense of **freedom, empowerment, and ownership** for team members,
- who can shape their own work, express their own voice, and pursue their own growth.
