Another week, another book 📖

This time around: “Coaching Agile Teams: A Companion for ScrumMasters, Agile Coaches, and Project Managers in Transition” by Lyssa Adkins.

This book was recommended to me by Scrum Master, and oh boy, there is a lot to unravel there. For sure I will need to read it a lot more in the upcoming months and years. I quite liked it and totally recommend it.

I can`t really summarise it well enough, so I leave you with some concepts presented in the book that are worth investigating:

• the High Performance Tree;
• the conflict response model;
• the concept of non violent language;
• the Shu Ha Ri focused on the SM/Coach: Teaching (Shu), Coaching (Ha) and Advising (Ri)
• the BART analysis;
• the five levels of conflict;

Here are some interesting quotes as well:

• “Everything you do for the group is one less thing they can do for themselves”
• “A friend loves you just the way you are. A coach loves you too much to let you stay that way.”

Happy readings 🤓
