One thing you can expect from my biz partner @Ourfounder is that his "biz books" are to their core books abt preserving & promoting our shared humanity via the work we do & w/whom we do it. As is evidenced by his latest The Collaboration Equation. amazon.com/dp/B0BHXDBG25/

OH: So you make teams Lean. We need that! No. We're not here to "make" people lean, agile, or productive, even. We're here to make obvious & rewarding paths towards intentional ways of working. Of being. Learn how w/ #LAVM. $500 off w/ code ModusHumane modusinstitute.com/lavm

If one lesson has surfaced from 2020, it's that ego is the enemy of effective leadership. Know what trumps it? Respect for people and their need for improvement. On Humanistic Collaborative Management, the latest from @Ourfounder. #lean #agile #orgpsych
Enough of being fools to tools. Let's build some lean and agile systems that really focus on the people. 5 Lean Agile Lenses — Modus Institute modusinstitute.com/blog/5-le… #lean #agile #orgpsych

YES. Neuroscience teaches us that learning is not an individual act, it's a social one. Esp. in knowledge work - where learning/prob solving are intrinsic - brains need supportive social interaction as much as they need glucose for survival. #collaboration

Your process is your product. The reason software teams struggle is they are simultaneously afraid of and have no time to pay attention to process. Then they end up writing comments like the one I got today on my open office rant. You job is not to type medium.com/@ourfounder/again…
