You can do waterfall in two week chunks
You can have retrospectives without learning or improving
You can write unit tests without making it easier to change your code
You can run CI servers without integrating your feature branches regularly
Et cetera

One thing I notice about successful leaders is they bring stuff up. Turning a blind eye prolongs issues you wish would go away.
Discomfort with any issue is reason enough to bring it up.

Product team workshops to imagine possible negative consequences are exercises in self-delusion if your team (like most) is full of privileged folks. It’s hard to imagine discrimination we’ve never experienced. 1. Build diverse teams. 2. Stop assuming your team has the answers.

The expression we wear has a lot more to do with our success than the clothes we wear.

Confusing corporate entrepreneurship with startup entrepreneurship is like confusing football with war. In both cases the consequences of losing are vastly different.

Questions that lead to purpose driven leadership:
How are you enabling connection and strengthening relationships?
How are you developing and maximizing human potential?
What aspiration are you meeting?
What behaviors fill you with gratitude?

I have an idea!
Companies should onboard employees with an internal podcast. It would focus on:
- Company history
- How decisions are made
- Industry 101
- How the company makes money
- Long-term goals and company vision
Fast, efficient, and fun for everybody.

Ah 2018.
Scrum means "Waterfall but we don't have time for analysis".
Kanban means "Scrum, but we don't have time for sprint planning".
Agile means "We have no process, but we do use JIRA extensively"

Konway's Law:
Organizations which deploy systems to Kubernetes are constrained to produce namespace and cluster conventions which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations.

Lean was designed to inform the founders vision to operate at speed, not as a focus group for consensus for those without deep convictions.

#agilität ist, wenn aus den Zetteln an der Wand ein vom Kunden gerne genutztes Produkt geworden ist. ... den Ganze Weg gehen!

Can we please stop calling them “soft skills” and “hard skills”? How about “human skills” and “technical skills”? Because honestly, they are skills most adult humans should have.

#Delegation:
"As your boss, I give you a specific authority now.
I can take it away from you any time I want."
#Empowerment:
"As your boss, I authorize you to act responsibly
within boundaries I define."
#Decentralization:
"Teams in the periphery are in charge."
Big difference.
