June 12th, 2005; 114th graduation ceremony at Standford University, Stave Jobs in his famous speech said:
You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
📌 I would like to connect the dots with you, about these first five weeks of the year, bearing in mind this sentence.
I have written about Feedback is a gift, the AGILE approach, SMART Objectives and the Retrospective and now I would like to tell you why all of this is connected.
Yes, because everything is connected!
👉 In my experience as a Digital Manager, trainer and Scrum Master, these four elements are linked and help digital transformation, whether personal or corporate, which is still a constant and evolving process.
Here how:
🎁 Feedback helps us to create a working environment that encourage us to improve, with the feeling of security of not being judged, but helped to grow.
🤸 The AGILE approach is a way of working that, allows us to review processes with the aim of improving them.
🎯 SMART objectives help us to be consistent over time and take small steps by measuring them on a daily basis.
👀 Retrospective is that process that requires us to stop and reflect on how things are going, what we need to stop doing, what to do more of and what to start doing.
We are connecting the dots together on these first articles that I have shared, because I would like to understand with you how it is going and what topics you find interesting, what you would like me to share about my experience.
📜 👉 What would you like to read about, next week?
Share your thoughts in the comments and I'm happy to help you to learn more.
If you'd like to have a sparring partner or have a chat about these topics, feel free to leave a comment and I'll get back to you.
📖 A book that inspired me some of these thoughts and that I recommend is "no rules rules" which talks about Netflix culture. You can find it here [LINK HERE]
🎦 If you have time, I recommend Stave Jobs' video about connecting the dots.
Every time I watch it, it inspires me and makes me think.
