Retrospectives Should Be A No-Brainer

It’s the last episode of the year. Let’s look back a bit, and look forward a bit.

In this episode I talk about why retrospectives are so great, how to sell your organization on retrospectives, and how to do them. And then I do a retrospective on the last year of this podcast.

Check out my article “To 10x Your Profits Start With Retrospectives” for more details on the incredible bottom-line power of retrospectives.
