10 Take Aways From the Bush Years

January 19th, 2009

Trying to gather what I can from Bob Woodward’s column in the NYTimes, 10 Take Aways From the Bush Years. Basic management advice extracted the hard way from the record of our first MBA president. Among the lessons:

  • insist that everyone speak out loud in front of the others, even — or especially — when there are vehement disagreements
  • foster a culture of skepticism and doubt
  • insist on strategic thinking
  • embrace transparency
  • email
  • Print
  • Digg
  • Reddit
  • StumbleUpon
  • Google Bookmarks

  • LinkedIn
  • Facebook
  • Twitter

Agile is about the material and human good we create when we respect our co-workers, tell truth to our employers, strive to improve, and care for the people affected by the software we help build.
