I had great expectations on this book, and in the end, I liked it despite it missing some important aspects.

First was that the goal to make money was seen as the only goal thinkable. Making money is a requirement, but great organisations have a purpose higher than that. But I accepted it as framing the learning in this book.

Liked:
Key takeaway is to challenge your assumptions. Look for bottlenecks and optimize for them.
Reduce Lead time increases value.
Do not produce stuff no one wants.

Longed for:
The book would be even greater if coworkers were part of the decision-making and brought their perspectives. In this book, only managers made all decisions, without involving people working in the factory.

If you have an interest in leadership, processes, or factories this book will keep you interested with its story format.

This is its own kind of fantasy. So powerful and so personal.

I think it was good. But I think it needs the context of other books in the world to get its full value.

A lot was happening. Perhaps a bit too much, I did not feel it tied its stories together by the end. I enjoyed it.

I like this book, almost as much as I like Humanocarcy. This books angle I think makes it more suitable for current leaders who are on the road (or need to be pushed on to it) away from old school management towards the future of management.

Management invocation is the key factor for companies to win, lose or leapfrog the competition.

Get with the times :)

This book is on of the best I read. Though I sometimes recommend Gary Hamels [b:The Future of Management 1842550 The Future of Management Gary Hamel https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1351663824l/1842550.SY75.jpg 1842810] first. That book, tells some of the same things but from a perspective that many managers will find more appealing. But if you are in to collaborative work and self-managing teams already this is the best book in that category. Beating [b:Reinventing Organizations: A Guide to Creating Organizations Inspired by the Next Stage of Human Consciousness 20787425 Reinventing Organizations A Guide to Creating Organizations Inspired by the Next Stage of Human Consciousness Frederic Laloux https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1431709097l/20787425.SX50.jpg 40126556] by some levels. This books shows why bureaucracy and strong hierarchies are a limitation on how well an organization can succeed. It depicts a few organizations that have gone beyond classical leadership. And finally explains principles that will help you to succeed with a human centric organization.

One of the best fantasy - mythology writings i read.

This book, ties previous books together in a great way.

If you follow these advices you will end up without anything of value. And you will be a bad person. Don't.

This will be a “go to book”, It is filled with good advice. I wish I read it earlier.

I love science poetry and this it it. Full of facts but a pleasure to read.

A good first book to agile for leaders.

I like Maxwell's work, also in this case..

Key take away for me.
* Focus on the one you want to connect with not on your self.
* Find the common ground so you can relate.

Great book on how to build autonomy in a hierarchical organization. It still have control through the hierarchy but can use some of the agency of a decentralized organization.

Some points.
1: delegate authority and train for that responsibility
2: speak out actions, I intend to. . instead of requesting or waiting for orders
3: focus on purpose over process.

Bra tips för att nå sina mål.

A collection of great techniques, but also old school control based management.

Ofta skeptisk till idén om att ledare i sport ska komma med stora insikter om ledarskap. Men boken var bra och en del bra tips som jag tror är tillämpbara utan för sporten.
T.ex. att fokusera målen på detta man ska göra nu bra

Though thIs book actually had some good content, I am no more clear on the core of design thinking and what it brings to the table compared to other software development practices.

Another great book in an amazing series. I just love hearing these characters come to life.

These stories are unique. Worth reading.

A master piece.

I liked this book. It builds upon a wealth of sources to cover leadership in a coaching way. It also helps leaders take a step away from control and letting the teams take more ownership. If you are a leader and wants to realise the potential within your teams this can help you take some steps on the journey.

I think of Pink, as this great curator. He brings in concepts and ideas into one holistic book. And opens doors to other things to explore. This book is no exception. It is a good read, a bit spread out in storyline but each part valuable.

A good complement to the main stories. But do not start with this.

One of the best fantasy books written. Exciting to follow.
