Amazing talk from Jurgen Appelo: Managing for Happiness

13.02.2018, Düsseldorf

#hafentalks, Jurgen Appelo, @InVisionDE

Key Learnings:

• T-shirt test. Will your company pass a T-Shirt test, i.e. employees are happy to wear a T-Shirt with company logo?
• No Roles & Titles
• Metrics are always incomplete
• OKRs: 70% — great job, 100% you are lazy. NO bonuses connected
• Code review outside
• Kudo cards with values, what I have done in last 14 days for company value
• “You will not remember bullet points, but you will remember stories”
• Feedback: 2 complements and 1 suggestion for improvement
• “Why do you celebrate that you are an idiot?”
