The Dream Team Nightmare– Books Week 5
The Dream Team Nightmare: Boost Team Productivity Using Agile Techniques by Portia Tung.
Interesting way of spreading the knowledge of agile techniques. Follow the tale of the hired consultant in a semi-interactive way. What’s the next action? It’s up to you to choose the next action (chapter).
Lots of familiar situations and good descriptions of possible improvements.
Smiled a lot reading it, another hero to the rescue ;)

The Talent Code: Greatness isn't born. It's grown – Books Week 6
Awesome book about how talent and skills are grown, literally. How come the South Korean ladies are dominating pro golf all of a sudden?
Follow the author to some of the “talent hotbeds” of the world. What’s their secret sauce? Does the “it takes 10 000 hours to become pro” still apply?
A must read!

Outliers: The Story of Success – Books week 8
Interesting stuff about why/how people succeed.
It’s not all about talent is it?
