When Sadia started working this this team, all looked great. Everybody was doing what they were supposed to. However, nothing was happening. There was no energy in that team, there was no conflict. As Sadia then learned, when something looks too good to be true, it probably is. Listen in to learn about the anti-patterns that were silently destroying this team. 

Featured Book of the Week: Surrounded by Idiots by Thomas Erikson

In Surrounded by Idiots by Thomas Erikson, Sadia found some critical lessons about how to communicate with certain types of people at work and in life in general. This book introduces the DISC model (assigning colors to certain personalities), and helps us understand how different people think differently. And understanding these differences is critical for our job as Scrum Masters.
