Description
Iterative Management Is Nimble Management
This book is a guide to the iterative organization, the only kind of organization that can learn and adapt fast enough to keep up in today’s world. For anyone running a team of managers, or advising someone who does, it describes the fundamental behaviors that create iteration, explains how to implement them, and includes videos and online assessment to get the process started. Iterate defines what management really is and helps readers create a fast, flexible, focused management team that does it well.
Ed Muzio, award-winning author, CEO, and “one of the planet’s clearest thinkers on management practice,” provides a research-based blueprint for a management team that will take the next best step for the organization in any situation. This book enables senior leadership, front line and middle management, and human resource executives to equip their teams with both knowledge and practical skills so that they not only understand their own purpose but also perform that purpose well amidst ever-changing conditions. Iterate will help readers create measurable business results on any management team, of any size, in any industry where complex work and frequent change are the norm.

Ed brings these opposite forces together with clear guidance that keeps the whole group performing yet ensures each individual will take responsibility for the big picture. Whether you lead a management team yourself or coach someone who does, Iterate is a must-read to get everyone going in the right direction—and the same direction—every step of the way.”

Iterate: Run a fast, flexible, focused management team
By Ed Muzio.
If you haven’t come across Agile methodologies before, there might be something in this you could take to your team. It’s not about project work, as the techniques, especially the reporting, lend themselves to be more suited to operational teams.
There is some great information on group decision making and the Hill of Influence idea is something I’ve never come across before - it’s a way of tracking engagement in a meeting. But some of the concepts won’t be new to people working in agile environments, such as short feedback cycles, moving decision making as low as possible down the chain and continuous improvement.
The main takeaway message is that a productive, efficient, flexible and focused team is more about culture than the tasks you do. Set the tone for the team, lead in the way you want the culture to be, and you’ll see results.
