In the meantime I finished The Big Five for Life (BFFL) book (see my 22- and 27-Jun-18 posts). Next book is Beyond Empowerment from Doug Kirkpatrick https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ej4n3w4kMa4. A short summary of BFFL here, for more you have to read the whole book 😉, because the Thomas Derales' tips to take away cover 14 points :
- Nobody is putting a project more on risk than somebody who is in the wrong place or notoriously dissatisfied
- People can find solutions for nearly any problem, they just need to know the rules of the game
- Capable people don't need anybody to control their behavior, as long as they identify themselves with their work and love to do it
- There are two people related factors influencing the profit of a company - productivity, how efficient are the people - fluctuation, how often quit people and how often do you need to re-staff?
- Without profits a company cannot function
- People who are successful with tasks that are not really important for them, will be even more successful with tasks they are really enthusiastic about
- ...
The Doug Kirkpatrick book (http://www.self-managementinstitute.org/about/people/3) covers the following guiding principles around Self-Management:
- No Use of Force and Keeping Commitments
- No Titles
- No Command Authority
- No Unilateral Authority to Fire
- Colleagues (instead of employees)
- Coaching and Mentoring Culture
- Accountability Process
- Freedom
To finish, a book summary to watch and not to read 🙂 - THE E-MYTH REVISITED by Michael Gerber | Core Message at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YGS3OxJZN4
