McGregor's "Theory X & Theory Y" was developed more than 60 years ago. It continues to be one of the most influential models for my change practice. Leaders with a Theory Y perspective are far more likely to be able to deliver continuous improvement. More about McGregor: medium.com/workmatters/manag… Thanks @andreasholmer

Neither. You promise to extend the platform but you need at least two years. In the meantime, you promise to build a patch to unblock things temporarily. Then, reorgs happen and everyone forgets the patch was a patch. Repeat this 100x times and that's how platforms evolve today.

For too long, the essence of what makes us human—our empathy, values, and emotions—have been dismissed as “soft" skills and relegated to the sidelines.
Yet these capacities drive everything: culture, engagement, leadership, innovation, collaboration.

Biggest hiring lesson for start ups I learned: Be very careful when you hire fancy execs from big companies. They often can’t deliver results under constrained resources. What makes you successful in a big company is very different than what makes you successful in a start up.

A suggestion:
If your dev team does great work, find ways to tell the rest of the biz, in ways that they will understand and appreciate.
Try and do this without talking about the technology!

It's time to get rid of pull requests for team work, and while we're at that, no more individual work. It's wasteful and inefficient. – at Crawley, South East

We are mourning the loss of legendary musician Maxi Jazz, who has passed away at the age of 65.
The team will walk out to Faithless on Boxing Day in tribute.

We are heartbroken to say Maxi Jazz died peacefully in his sleep last night. He was a man who changed our lives in so many ways. He gave proper meaning and a message to our music. He was a lovely human being with time for everyone and wisdom that was both profound and accessible.
