This reminds me of the notion of "power with vs. power over."Meta -management is critical also - especially in an era of collaboration between entities that are different companies. The construction industry might serve as a model - perhaps more so than tie IT industry.I remain interested in…

"Velocity increases.....preferences and abilities."Is it possible to start with where people are at by allowing them to leverage their preferences and abilities and learning how to integrate these with the preferences and abilities of others?What level of consistency is needed from a coach?What…

Inherent in EDBA is the focus on on everyone being in the same boat rowing in the same direction. While this is desirable - it may not be achievable. We may have several work related projects going on at the same time - and then we have families, communities and personal interests...Collaboration…

How do we prevent the structure from believing that its purpose is to "perpetuate" the structure?p 64 - "structure matters more than ever."Perhaps a structure that is adaptable matters more than a structure that is rigid?"better to implement something imperfectly than to do nothing…

(4) Introduction xv "Once Upon a Time..."
I wonder about the use of "adaptable" in place of "repeatable" as the adjective in point 3 on page xvii.Also - Thanks for the definition of velocity (speed and direction.) This reminds me of vector math. If I am running 10 miles and hour due south on a conveyor belt moving 10 miles an hour due…

"Effort" vs. "Results"Earlier in my career we were conditioned to optimize the use of technology because it cost so much more than the humans that used it.The trend has been reversing for decades to the point where the humans are much more costly than the technology.Will this trend continue? Has…
