"Beginner = ignorant simplicity Intermediate = functional complexity Advanced = profound simplicity" –@JamesClear

I just completed the Lean Change Management Virtual Self-Study course. I highly recommend this to all of those involved in leading or guiding change. Jason's course is highly practical, and full of useful templates, examples and ideas. ctt.ec/H7WKj+ #leanchange

Do you want to know what’s wrong with modern workplaces? @brucedaisley has a worthwhile rant about it here: youtu.be/diSBPUs0t0Y #work #meetings

We've scheduled a new workshop, Coaching Agile Transitions with Lean Change Management, in Raleigh on May 21 2020. Details here: zpr.io/tbwQS #leanchange #agile #changemanagement

@DanCable1 You can download a paper showing some of the research from the Perpetual Guardian move to a 4 day work week. They provide some good case studies and guidance. 4dayweek.com/research.

Anyone out there actually AGAINST the idea of the four-day workweek? I’d love to hear from you! Always curious about things that seem to work in theory and practice, but aren’t implemented in reality. Where is the resistance is coming from? #Work money.howstuffworks.com/four-day-workw…

What can managers do to help employees combat the very natural tendency to put off for tomorrow what isn’t due today? Have employees set aside time for work that is important but not urgent. Thanks @CharlotteBlank @lauramgiurge @ashleywhillans @HarvardBiz! hbr.org/2019/11/gettin…

Hey Wellington folks - We're starting a Business Agility Meetup in Wellington. First event on 12 December at lunchtime. Come and join us meetup.com/Business-Agili…

@shanehastie @agileRashina Great talk!

My latest InfoQ news item - @agileRashina gave a deeply moving TEDx talk on what it means to be an agile nation in response to the 15 March attacks in Christchurch. #agile #newzealand #christchurch #attacks #tedxtalk lnkd.in/fVxWRkf

#fbf 18 months later and the core principle is still the same: #4dayweek is employee-led. We asked our @PerpetualGuardn employees to think about how they can work differently and encouraged them to come up with their own measure of #productivity bit.ly/2pHdfN9

@DanCable1 Hi Dan, I think @drtcp sums this up very nicely in his work around why do so many incompetent men become leaders. A nice summary of that here: youtu.be/uQBefnWMkX8. Until we change the mindset around what makes an effective leader, humility will be trumped by charisma.

It sounds pretty simple. And the evidence shows it works best. So what’s holding us back? #BeHumble

@drtcp some more evidence to support your work on leader competence. hbr.org/2019/10/how-a-…. More clear evidence on the broken model of effective leadership.

Thrive v Survive. A good article in HBR (hbr.org/2019/09/the-mi…) on a topic that @DanCable1 covers in his great book, 'Alive at Work'.

@DanCable1 Have you read this journal article? nature.com/articles/s4159…. I don't have access but thought it might be something useful for a future Squeezing the Orange given your work on the Seeking system and thinking in Alive at Work.

Nice article summarising research on how to gain engagement in Digital transformation initiatives. lnkd.in/fxAW86c mitsmr.com/2FjMxvv

This is a good article on the value and steps necessary to deliver Agile at Scale. It should be useful for Execs and Senior leaders to start to understand the holistic approach of Agility and how they can shape the environment and…lnkd.in/e822kSc lnkd.in/eZn_eMC
