                       practically an essential for many people, and—as faster

                       them the equal of a desktop—the new wave of lightweight
                       laptops is increasingly replacing the home PC with its bulky
                       tower and multiple cords. Plus, you can use your laptop when
                       chilling on the couch or venturing out for a quick coffee!

                        a dream realized. A teacher of photography and film at the
                        high school level for 20 years, he grew up in a time when
                        coffee went from a poor quality, inexpensive commodity to a
                        ubiquitous and often delicious inexpensive luxury. His second
                        career brought his passion for teaching and passion for coffee
                        into alignment and he worked as a coffee educator for more
                        than 25 years for Starbucks. His work for Starbucks began in
                        1995 when, as a Barista, he leveraged his passion and
                        curiosity for coffee and business and after 8 years in
                        operations in 5 roles was invited to move to the Seattle
                        headquarters and join the coffee team. In the next 17 years
                        he had the opportunity to be part of some of Starbucks most
                        innovative efforts, and during his final 7 years traveled
                        extensively in Asia as a coffee educator and brand
                        ambassador. Although recently retired from Starbucks, Major

Tiny Noticeable Things

                       The Secret Weapon to Making a Difference
                       Adrian Webster

                       Summary

                       TNTs are Tiny Noticeable Things. They are all the little things
                       that people don’t need to do, but do do. They may be tiny but
                       they are highly explosive. They create the biggest longest
                       lasting pictures in people’s minds, they show how much you
                       care, they make and break relationships, yet they cost
                       nothing.

                       They are the difference between a four and five-star customer
                       experience; the difference between a manager and a leader;
                       the difference between a team that’s floundering and a team
9781119780892          that’s flying. They are the difference between a great place to
                       work and a not so great place.

                       phenomenal.

                       Their explosive power comes from the fact that they are out of
                       the blue, unexpected acts of kindness. They are those extra
                       mile steps that people take for each other that go beyond
                       expectations. Their impact is so much so that they are able to

                       societies has been on the rise, while productivity and wage
                       growth slowed, and countries are burdened by debt. Second,
                       the market power of the world´s largest companies reached
                       unprecedented levels, raising questions on the spread of
                       innovation and productivity gains. And third, the exploitation

                       the possible culprits are legion. In any case, Schwab argues

€22.90                 many of the issues we are now faced with.

                       What are the real causes of our system’s shortcomings, and
                       what are false positives? Do solutions lie in small adjustments

                        Economic Forum, the International Organization for Public-
                        Private Cooperation. He founded the Forum in 1971, the
                        same year in which he published Moderne
                        Unternehmensführung im Maschinenbau (Modern Enterprise
                        Management in Mechanical Engineering). In that book, he
                        argued that the management of a modern enterprise must

                        Schwab has championed the multistakeholder concept since
                        the Forum's inception, and it has become the world's

                       Summary

                       Agile is broken.

                       Most Agile transformations struggle. According to an Allied
                       Market Research study, “63% of respondents stated the
                       failure of agile implementation in their organizations.” The
                       problems with Agile start at the top of most organizations with
                       executive leadership not getting what agile is or even knowing
                       the difference between success and failure in agile.

                       Agile transformation is a journey, and most of that journey
                       consists of people learning and trying new approaches in their

John Wiley & Sons      become associated with Agile such as Test-Driven-
                       Development (TDD) and its unit test-centric approach to
€27.90                 programming, an overall inertia and resistance to change in
                       the Agile community, and practices like “agile team rooms,”
                       the Agile movement is ripe for change since its birth twenty
                       years ago.
