First time I have studied this framework.

Surprisingly so far, I have never come across this framework, taken from the book, written by Lyssa Adkins - "Coaching Agile Teams"

Nicely structured the Agile coaching competency development Framework.

Few questions which helped me to write this book.

  1. What is my greatest strength? How can I bring more of that to my current (or future) career?
  2. What am I passionate about? What things get me excited?
  3. What am I afraid of?
  4. What would it feel like to be there (or have that career)?
  5. Let’s set a deadline. When do I want this by?

Agile Manager's Performance Review



Peter Drucker makes it clear that performance cannot be measured fully “As each human being is unique, we cannot simply add them together, or subtract them from one another.... To arrive at meaningful measurements is one of the greatest challenges to management.”


Frederic Herzberg concluded that,“If you want people to do a good job, give them a good job to do" 

According to The Successful Manager’s Handbook, “Successful negotiation engages people, especially those who have ongoing interaction, in seeking and identifying a solution satisfactory to all.

Emergence: From Movie Apollo 13

Experiment and come up with the solutions is the only way .....
