Excellent material for all managers who want to leave their (e) grow (s) Team

Attracted me the book originally because talking to a time on Twitter around that the book by Jurgen Appelo was finally published. To my shame, I must confess to have never heard of Jurgen Appelo voher. But people - gurus ;-) - I'm Following on Twitter, were excited, I have found me the Kindle version.

The first thing I read was the prefaces Uncle Bob (Martin) and Ed Yourdon. Bob Martin wrote that he normally Management Books only read on the toilet (!), But this present copy fancy an exception. This suggested to me suggests that it is a management book that is close to practice.
Already the first few pages also showed that's the style of writing very entertaining and funny without being irrelevant.

The following masses structured the book:
Part 1: Introduction (overview of the 6-eyed monster, What's agile software development at all?)
Part 2: Overview of system theory (currently probably one of the buzz-words)
Part 3: First eye - Energize People
- In the first part deals with many things that are so similar to find already in "Drive" by Daniel H. Pink; Motivation 3.0
4th part: second eye - Empower your teams
- How do you manage to leave the individuals grow into a team; Keyword self-organization
- How can you put the team in a position to meet them right decisions themselves (the team empowering)
- Delegation apply correctly
5.Teil: Third Eye - Align Constrains
- Align the objectives from the individual to the organization each other
- Just how do you get oriented self-organization?
6th part: Fourth eye - Develop Competencies
- Feedback options and models
- As the competence is measured, how can you bear the information together
7.Teil: Fifth eye - Grow Structure
- How does the communication in complex systems?
- The central idea is to build structures in small and then - to let these grow at the organizational level - analogous to fractal structures
8.Teil: Sixth eye - Improve Everything
- Models for Change Management

It's not all new, what is in the individual parts. But new - and therefore "3.0 Management" quite possible to accumulate with the title - are the ideas on how the individual and develop the team to a complex "organism" and the methods and tools to initiate this development, accompany and correct in the direction can grow. For me, the book is ultimately a development Tom DeMarco's "peopleware".

The book I highly recommend!
