I've been on Bluesky for a while now. I decided to have a peek over here on Twitter/X. Man, man, man... Quickly signing off again here. What a bunch of fucktards, Russian trolls, American nitwits, and only 1% decent information. Bye-bye again!

Have you ever felt ashamed of your naiveté? I know I have. I was reminded of the feeling last week when watching TV. I don’t know if you’re watching the Netflix series “The Diplomat”, but you should. Link in bio. #politics #corporate #naivete #thediplomat #agile

I see a huge discrepancy between what’s being advocated on LinkedIn and organizational websites versus what's happening in the real world when it comes to leadership. Link in bio. #agile #leadership #hierarchy #trump #elections

"The team only needs coaching for the first few months. After that, they should be able to do it themselves." Said no football manager ever. Ever seen a top football team without a coach? Link in bio. #football #business #sustainable #realisticmanagement #manageexpectations

There are two types of players I recognize in my work environments. A Type Two Player takes the circumstances for what they are, works with whatever is available, and achieves respectable results anyway. patrickheller.medium.com/two…

Change requires time, and the clock ticks at the same speed for all of us, but by using different methods, it doesn't feel that way. Make time your friend in a change process. Link in bio. #time #timemanagement #agile #change #changemanagement

Existing patterns serve parts of the organization very well, even if the organization as a whole needs a change of direction. Laying new patterns is tricky, but the right message behind the changes might help. Link in bio. #patterns #change #simplify #complexity #management

Your mouth goes dry. You start to feel hot, sweat breaks out and you just want to run out of the room. What you feel ashamed of changes over the years. Read all about how that can actually keep you sharp as a coach… Link in bio. #shame #sharp #experience #coaching #embarrassing

How, as a coach, you allow a team to develop itself by balancing on the thin line between giving attention and letting go... Link in bio. #coaching #breathingspace #lettinggo #agile #attention

You know by now that I regularly do courses to gain more knowledge. I like to keep learning and challenge myself. So, that's what I did again, by doing a course about Self-Determination Theory (SDT). #selfdeterminationtheory #sdt #autonomy #competence #relatedness #wellbeing

I've written a new article, a letter of warning that we might stumble into a third world war if we don't watch out. Link in bio.

What do diets and Agile Transformations have in common? For starters, most people are not exactly cheering and applauding for either. Moreover, people often have the wrong expectations of both. linkedin.com/pulse/agile-die… #diets #agiletransformations

We went to see MI7. What I really like is when 1 of the team is in disarray, and Ethan (played by @TomCruise ) shouts at them, "Just go! You'll figure it out!" My agile heart beats a little faster then! #MissionImpossible #Agile #Trust #Confidence #JustGo #YouWillFigureItOut

You might think it has been around for ages, but US Air Force General Schriever coined the term "project management" in 1954, the same year Drucker describes his Management by Objectives. Link in bio. #psychology #history #projectmanagement #managementbyobjectives #PRINCE2

I've had my artificial hip for 10 years now, and that's why I made this video: youtu.be/jgO-ujE2ECI
