by Alexander Weinhard Working Out Loud starts with making your work visible in such a way that it might help others. When you do that — when you work in a more open, connected way — you can build a purposeful network that makes you more effective and provides access to more opportunities. John Stepper: The...
Read moreby Jennifer Riggins One of the companies I worked for would offer us “surprise” half days on the days before Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Read moreby Jason Little I learned that “agile” was a thing around 2007.

Read moreby Richard Atherton “Money makes the world go around,” so sang Liza Minnelli in Cabaret. Or does it?

Read moreby Thomas Kuryura As our organization grows and matures, we learn not to repeat the same mistakes twice… Ha! If only that were true. Unfortunately we don’t live in a perfect world; in reality things work rather differently. Especially in agile companies where we are split into multidisciplinary teams, in which we create safe boundaries....
Read moreby Nikoletta Tatár The foundation of a great team is trust. Patrick Lencioni’s great book, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, addresses this question in detail. Lack of trust is the biggest dysfunction. A team cannot mature without establishing it in the first place. But establishing trust is easier said than done. In certain teams, it...
Read moreby Louise Brace Our Happy Melly team created a team delegation board last year that gave each of us the authority to make decisions on most aspects of the day-to-day running of the Happy Melly One organization.
