Leadership in IT
summary
The talk examines why traditional industrial-era management and MBO/SMART target systems fail for complex software, arguing that goals explode combinatorially and productivity needs intrinsic motivation. It presents concrete practices used in IT: agile self-organizing teams, peer reviews, personnel poker, 20% open time, management-as-coach (Management 3.0), reverse happiness metrics, rotating natural leaders, visible values and retrospectives to build trust, reduce turnover and boost creativity.
