I read this book twice and place this among my recommended book for leaders.
Having Psychological Safety for is an enabler for increased productivity, employer satisfaction. I think anyone leading others need the knowledge in this book to have as a platform to understand how you start building a team that actually can work together.
The Fearless Organization by Amy C. Edmondson provides a comprehensive look at the importance of psychological safety in the workplace. Edmondson outlines the benefits of psychological safety, as well as strategies for creating it in the workplace. This includes creating a workplace where employees feel respected and valued. It also includes providing employees with the opportunity to develop their skills and contribute to the organization's success. By implementing these strategies, organizations can create an environment of psychological safety that encourages employees to take risks, speak up, and innovate. If you are looking for ways to create a psychologically safe workplace, this book is a must-read. Read the book to learn more about how to build a fearless organization.
Not so deep research. More riding the hype than providing any new content. The end was a bit nuanced saying iPhone was not the first smartphone. But just looking past that iPhone was not the first of its form factor. Though it revolutionised many peoples lives It was due to marketing and brand. Looking past obvious things like this. Make me think about what else was missed.
I hoped it was going to help me more, but unfortunately, it did not give much guidance on how to work, when there is little to no time overlap. Though there are some tips on how to mitigate the situation. The book's driving point is that teams should not have less than 4 hours overlap if they are going to have a fair chance. Though if you have some time overlap, this book has some good recommendations on how to work together.
I like the interpersonal dialogs. But think it is focusing a bit much on war, and weapons. It becomes a bit limited in its story development and a bit predictable when it follows the war storyline. What keeps my interest is the politics, Society, Technology, and personal that happens in between battle sceens.
This book if for you if you are hooked on the Firfly-verse. Seen the series etc.
It was a slow start, considering stop reading or that I would continue reading beacouse I love the universe, but give it a two . But I pushed through, and at points I was in the firefly feeling and it was worth it. I even considered giving it a ** but al together it lands on a ***+.
Loves getting some more hints on the characters and who they are.
This is a clear inspirational book. What should we give to our workplace, can we accept less than expected less than have a greater purpose for our work. I think the core tenant of having joy at work is something many companies are missing and Bakke clarifies that it is possible and necessary.
If you are an atheist like me you can skip the last chapter, and get a book with few references to faith, I do find it surprising that so many of these great ideas come from people's faith. And after reading the rest of the book I found it valuable to hear how he connected faith to his work.
The core of this book is to differentiate finite games, that has an end, from infinite games, that is just for playing. The author makes the point that infinite games are better and less paradoxical. I associate the talk with the teal thoughts on building better organizations. I also think of the book [b:This Life: Secular Faith and Spiritual Freedom 35969561 This Life Secular Faith and Spiritual Freedom Martin Hägglund https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1541968760l/35969561.SY75.jpg 57532947] wish talks on similar matters, but the fact that we are finite is the reason why we can be and do good. Somehow I see these thoughts reaching out and connecting in my head. We are finite beings taking part in an infinite game.I think this book will give me more insights on a second read.
I like Gary and His sassyness. I like his go get it attitude. But I think he is playing it to low when I say you need to be too 10 to go after your dream. There are room for 1000nds of Gary winelords around the world doing about the same thing.
If you are thinking of taking a leap in to your dream business go with this book or his follow-up crushing it, the worst thing that could be happening is doing what you love.
I got the tip after Asking for more to read about RAMP (https://twitter.com/allenholub/status/1313195816706732032)
Relatedness, Autonomy, Mastery, Purpose. AMP as presented by Pink in Drive (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6452796-drive) hade before been I guiding star for my leadership. So of course when I understood the connection it jumped to the top of my reading list.
The dimension of relatedness connected a missing piece that fits into many of the actual practices of working together that encouraged, and made this model more complete. never alone
If you read Drive or considering reading it I suggest reading this too. It one of my favorites this year. And cover Relatedness, Autonomy, and Mastery. Not covering the part about purpose. Though I found Relatedness and Purpose to overlap some, that was probably due to the fact that that they were missing in each model.
Read it.
Great book. I think this will join Accelerate of my go to books for the vision and strategy I see in my workplaces. Not much new for me, but packaged in a accessible way.
And for the content, already In the first pages I find fuel for my questioning of year plans.
And the full width of this book, and the focus around the product role complements a lot of the previous literature I read on organizing teams.
There is some things you should not listen to though. Like the idea of 60h work week and the PM with hero complex. PM should be part of a great team and be able to do its work within working hours with the support of its organization. If that does not work out for you get help from your scrum master or agile coach to find ways of working that keeps you alive. :)
