Good to Great
In the last six months, I’ve come across Good to Great and a few other books, each of which are very interesting on their own, but which, taken together, have provided me with some new insights into agile as a whole. I actively use the concepts in my management seminars. I want to share those […]
Humanocracy by Gary Hamel and Michele Zanini
