Jurgen Appelo: Management 3.0
Jurgen Appelo calls himself a creative networker. Since 2008 Jurgen has penned a popular blog covering the creative economy, agile management, and personal development. He is the author of Management 3.0*, the bestselling agile management text and the proactive follow-up book, Managing for Happiness*.
Key Points
Not all things work for each company. You must experiment to see what works for your company culture.
Incentives should be tangible.
Managers should only have to manage the business systems, and the employees should be able to manage themselves.
You are learning the most when half your experiments fail.
Figure out how to incentivize experimentation, not just successful results.
