People&Leadership: January 2009
http://peopleandleadership.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 30, 2009. Small changes with large impact. I've just read through Getting Things Done by David Allen and it took me. about 2 months (it's 250 pages). That's bad. But during that time I've also implemented some changes and that's good. I've changed two things so far and they alone have resulted in huge savings of energy and time. Write down thoughts, to dos etc. What happens when you are walking home or just about to turn out the lights at night and your mind wanders? Well it did for me!

People&Leadership: Stay focused!
http://peopleandleadership.blogspot.com/2009/06/stay-focused.html
Friday, June 5, 2009. As the estimated week came to an end they again experienced a loss of energy and motivation. We had a discussion about it. If the length of the iteration did not stop them from loosing focus at the end then what was? In this case we solved it by shortening the lenght between team synchronization, from once a day to twice a day and that seemed to solve the problem. A simple solution to a difficult problem.

People&Leadership: The ubiquitous lack of trust
http://peopleandleadership.blogspot.com/2009/05/ubiquitous-lack-of-trust.html
Monday, May 4, 2009. The ubiquitous lack of trust. As an Agile Coach I see a lot of efforts to make the transition into the Agile paradigm. A lot of energy is put into figuring out how to do it and how. Are going te get the job done -. Because it is almost never the people planning the transition who is going to get the work done. The lack of trust between management and developer seems to be as strong as ever and comments like "we need to make sure that. So, with this attitude the Agile transition is pl...

People&Leadership: The Authistic Organization
http://peopleandleadership.blogspot.com/2009/06/authistic-organization.html
Tuesday, June 16, 2009. The only sensible solution to this would be to provide the organisation with clear goals and make sure that everyone knows whats at stake - their jobs - and trust people to do what's best in every given situation.

People&Leadership: You get the organisation you deserve
http://peopleandleadership.blogspot.com/2009/05/you-get-organisation-you-deserve.html
Thursday, May 28, 2009. You get the organisation you deserve. When I talked about this during the last Scrum training I received a question from one of the managers: how do you prevent the teams from becoming lazy? That is, what if they don't do as much work as they could, if they have hours left and don't fill those hours with work. How do you answer that? I answered it with a question: what does greed mean to you and how to you think greed affects productivity? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

People&Leadership: March 2009
http://peopleandleadership.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 22, 2009. Slow motion and a soundtrack of my life. All I really wish for at this moment is the ability to make the world move in slow motion and a soundtrack to go with it. How cool would it not be to have your own personal soundtrack for those action packed "bigger than yourself moments"! I have wished for this for a long time and at least gathered a library of soundtracks to accompany me. The latest in my compilation arrived last Friday: Echoes of War. The Art of Listening. That seems pre...

People&Leadership: February 2009
http://peopleandleadership.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 26, 2009. I discovered the following framework for proposals (no not that kind! While reading Marks and Meaning by Dave Gray. When making a proposal the golden rule is to keep it simple, brief and to the point. Here's the template Dave suggests:. Why should you care:. Briefly describe the problem and why the "as is" state needs to change. What you/we stand to gain:. Briefly describe the "end state" you envision. How it will work:. Sell the problem first before attempting to sell the so...
