- S1E17 - When to STOP giving a s%$#
S1E17 - When to STOP giving a s%$#
Yep it’s true, there is only so much you can do sometimes and you need to learn when that “sometime” is.
- Pushing yourself to perform when it’s not needed
- If there is no incentive, you’re burning your own time for someone else
- Why do more when enough does the job
- Is it a sign of a toxic environment if you have these thoughts?
- The “Cashier” mindset
Not the most uplifting topic for the holidays but it’s all about giving you back time for your loved ones and not wasting it where you will not see a benefit.

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:
- Sprint Planning
- Sprint backlogs
- Trying the deliver a number of velocity points is the goal
- Sprint reviews
- Spring retrospectives
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.

S1E12 - How to Help others help themselves
Are there times when you getting that knock on your office door asking for help, emails that are obviously someone pushing their issues down to you or a compulsive “I dunno’er” in your life? Here are 5 ways you can help others, help themselves!
The 5 ways people can help themselves:
- Be available as a consultant but not as a worker
- Cultivate the coaching aura
- Learn to say “no” and if they pull rank, make it known you’re going above and beyond while the other person is not.
- Help create a checklist with the person and tell them “good luck”
- The Ben Franklin method of selling in action
- WIIFM - What’s in it for me?
- Have a clear distinction of what you do in your workplace
- Visibility of your work, makes you harder to dump stuff on
- Be unavailable during your power hour
- Build a reputation for being quick and decisive with feedback
- Cultivate a bit of a wall and ensure people don’t think you’re a jerk, just to not waste your time.
- Friendly but firm attitude
- If you’re forced to do their work, DOCUMENT IT ALL and help get rid of them!
- If I am better than you and can document your job functions easily, then I’ll be recommending a change in duty to management on your behalf.
- Never give work to the lazy smart person, or it’s going to be automated.
Are some of these points mean? Nope… You have to cut out the time suckers and move yourself into the driver's seat of your life. Doesn’t matter who it is, you manage your own time and others need to respect that.

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.
How to return to the workplace during Covid:
- Before going back, acknowledge the fears/hang-ups you have, write them down and try to see them from a different perspective.
- Be open to a level of disgruntled and irritation upon being forced back to the office, but don’t let that attitude hurt your career.
- Ask for flexibility and what is possible.
- Understanding the “Why”, and try to ensure you get a clear understanding of the “why”
- Compassion for coworkers who are making different decisions than you.
- Personal safety in the workplace
- PPE (Personal protective equipment)
- Cleaning supplies
- Office arrangement and placement
- Desk location and avoiding communal spaces
- Remember that people are having a hard time all over, and to be grateful that you had the chance to do your job from home while so many more people never got that chance.
