"In 150 pages, he offers many examples of how Management 3.0 practices can be applied, and he tells stories of what he did in certain circumstances. What a great gift!" - Foreword by Jurgen Appelo - Author of the books Management 3.0 and Managing for Happiness.
This book describes experiences with the many practical tools described within Management 3.0. How do you set up a delegation board? How do you play Moving Motivators with teams and individuals?
The book details and reflects on experiences adopting and implementing Management 3.0. The mistakes I made and the successes I achieved. I wrote them down primarily because I like to help people and organizations get started with Management 3.0 as well.
I believe people make all the difference in every project. The people’s skills, how they work together, how they feel, and just who they are. Scrum, Kanban, eXtreme Programming, Management 3.0, these are just tools or frameworks that exist to help people.
I have been working in IT since 1997. I had different roles: Software Developer, Tester, Scrum Master, Agile Coach, Team Lead, Manager, and VP Software Development. What I always liked most, was working with people, to improve the processes and the environments they work in.
I am specialized in Management and Leadership coaching, Agile Coaching, and Organizational Development support.
I love to share my ideas and insights. I publish regularly articles on my blog posts.
Each chapter in this book contains examples on how Ralph implemented the methodologies as defined by Jurgen Appelo. What I liked a lot about it, is that Ralph explains that this might not work on your team. It’s just an idea on how you can implement these things. If you do the same, don’t forget to tweak it. Because what works for his team, might not work for yours.
A practical guide for both experienced and not so experienced managers. Insightful, useful and even funny, this book will give you a much better understanding on how teams work and how to make your employees feel better about their day to day jobs. A must read for any professional who wants to learn about improving their work experiences!
