Shownotes:

Michael is one of the most insightful people I know in the improvement space.

The topics we dive into are improving how we work, Michael's first encounter with Scrum and working in an agile way, dysfunction mapping, what it is, how it helps you figure out where to focus your improvement effort and how it sets you up for measuring the impact of your work as an improvement professional. We talk about mindset, from extreme ownership to stoicism, how to deal with differing opinions, psychological safety, being autistic, learning music and much more.
