3 Red Flags, dass du am falschen Ort bist.

🚩 Deine Stärken = ihre "Probleme"
"Du denkst zu viel nach." "Warum dauert das so lange?"
Übersetzung: Wir wollen schnelle Pflaster, keine nachhaltigen Lösungen.

🚩 Du wirst fürs Feuerlöschen gelobt
"Du bist so gut in Krisen!"
Übersetzung: Wir haben keine Prozesse und werden auch keine bauen.

🚩 Deine besten Ideen sterben leise
Du baust Systeme. Niemand nutzt sie.
"Nice to have."
Übersetzung: "Unwichtig."

Die Kultur ist wichtig.
Sie gibt uns einen Rahmen.
Ein gewisses Sicherheitsgefühl.

Die härteste Lektion:
Nicht jede Organisation will besser werden. Manche wollen nur überleben. #TheInfiniteGame

"A lot of things don't change until things structurally change. If your team can't deploy at will, that's a constraint. If you're supposed to be data-informed, but have to jump through hoops to instrument a metric—and then another set of hoops to even see the dashboard—that's a constraint. If accessing customers requires five people's permission, it probably won't happen. If engineers are incentivized for individual accomplishments instead of shared outcomes, you'll end up with too much work in progress and not enough finished value. "
John Cutler on Marty Cagan and SVPG.

But that is the whole point: How helpful are very generalistic advices with an added extra "Google did that" sauce on it? Exactly, not much.

Stefan Kühl schreibt über die #Digitalisierung in der Verwaltung - beschreibt aber ziemlich genau, woran Veränderungen in den meisten Organisationen scheitern:

• Unklare Definitionen und Zusammenrühren verschiedener Aspekte
• Unklare Zuständigkeiten und keine Chance relevant zu wirken
• Desinteresse und Sorge vor Misserfolg in der Führungsebene

I read a lot about "anti-pattern" in teams and organizations. What is that supposed to be?
I can observe patterns in teams and orgs. Some are helpful, some are not so helpful in that given context. The same pattern, that fails in one context, works well in another. All patterns served a purpose at a time, which might not be given anymore and makes them obsolete.

Talking about "anti-pattern" is normative BS and belongs to cults, not to social science. #justsaying
