The ideas presented here are simple - visual management, psychological safety, transparency, setting explicit and reasonable expectations, allowing people to their job effectively, and trusting in their judgment - but they are not easy to implement. This book helps to notice anti-collaborative patterns and presents a way to fix them. It doesn't promise an easy or quick process but when done right, it can improve not only collaboration but also the effectiveness and well-being of the people involved.
I'm afraid that some readers might shrug this book off and say it's just common sense. But as we know common sense is not so common. Ideas presented here come from decades of experience - not some lofty slogans and manifests - just good old practice. And often practice is counterintuitive to popular notions, e.g. micromanagement might be helpful or even necessary, self-organizing teams might be new corporate silos, and Agile might make teams very fragile.
I find this book a bit chaotic. I had an opportunity to meet Jim and this book reads exactly how he talks :D Which is engaging but can be difficult to reference later on. I had problems with quickly finding specific passages, so use your notes, highlights, and bookmarks to their full extent.
The only thing I struggled with is the assumption that in the right environment, everyone is a professional - competent, responsible, communicative, and making sensible decisions (well, maybe except VPs and other senior leaders, who occasionally get a really bad rep in this book). I'd like to believe in this rule... but every rule has an exception. I'd love to read an extra chapter on how to deal with such exceptions that could spoil or slow down the collaborative effort.
I wholeheartedly share the author's vision of the collaborative system and the right environment. I'll surely reference this book often to find the inspiration and courage to push back on wasteful work and mindless practices that foster anti-collaborative behaviors.… (plus d'informations)
