S1E16 - Why Kanban is better than Scrum for Development
Kanban is a better system than Scrum for development, but scrum is better if you’re in management trying to measure work on projects.
Scrum has many extra steps to getting stuff built such as:
Kanban is a much simpler model and one focused on delivering tasks as soon as they are done and is more resilient to changes in scope or priorities.
Scrum is mainly about ceremonies and is great for managers that need to talk about deliveries on a regular basis. Kanban is much more fluid but results in far less time spent on ceremonies and more on completing tasks from the assigned product backlog.

Performance Conversations: How to Use Questions to Coach Employees, Improve Productivity, and Boost Confidence (Without Appraisals!) by Christopher Lee
About the book:
“There are three universal truths about traditional performance management. They are widely used, universally despised, and are known to be ineffective. These reasons are cited in the recent spate of announcements from dozens of major corporations who have abandoned their appraisal systems. As a result, many organizations are grappling with what to do instead. They have adopted many interesting and innovative practices, but most are a random collection of activities that are not bound together by a sound theoretical framework. This new approach is built upon a sound theoretical foundation, uses proven management techniques, and offers a novel framework and tool for managers for regulating and enhancing the performance of their staff. Dozens of ready-to-use templates and accompanying tools help make good management practice more accessible, practical, and effective. Just as important, the new approach is both millennial- and remote worker-friendly as it incorporates features that speak to how they work.”

S1E8 - The Return to the Covid Workplace
Firstly, I have to address that if you’re the type of person that has been working remotely at a job and now has to go back...you are incredibly privileged to be doing so. There are so many people who had to either work through the pandemic as part of their job or due to the service they provide. I am truly thankful for all the workers that put themselves at risk to serve society.
