I had a sales director try to bring it in to a sales team I was managing but he had no experience in it (according to him). So he regularly threw words around like “scrum meeting” this and “kanban” that. He was fired for lack of impact and work ethic. And that was the end of my exposure.
I’m an accountant and I’ve never worked with software dev which is where this all seems to stem from. I’m interested in the subject though.

It started with Circe, which lead to a Greek myth kick. So once I’ve gotten through my stack of Greek retelling I’ll check this one out.

Comment on What book do you wish everyone in your professional field read? in ~books

Essentially, the book points out that being happy has advantages to yourself, your work, and those around you.
Which, duh. But it also helps with some exercises to force yourself into being happy, or at least provide a nudge in that direction.
It’s molded my leadership style at work. I do my best to remain happy, even when we’re faced with complicated situations or pressure from other departments. I try to keep my team in positive spirits. We learn better and act more efficiently when we’re in a positive headspace.
Some of the book is a bit too Pollyanna for me, but overall the book is great and the exercises are beneficial.
Wow! I’ve been vegan since 2012 now. I also tried back in 2006 and lasted about a year. When people tell me now “oh it’s so hard” I have to tell them it’s really not! Compared to 2006 it’s easy peasy. My grocery stores back then only had rice milk in the shelf-stable section and it was… not great.
There are so many options now. I can’t imagine 1999! Especially as a junk food vegan like myself :)
