Joel Tosi has been delivering software products for over 25 years. Along the way, he has felt frustrated that he couldn’t express himself effectively; managed teams where he could see the problems they were experiencing but couldn’t get his peers to see them the same way; and seen far too many good intentions end in less-than-desirable results. Joel has stories. For the past decade, Joel has focused on helping make it easier for teams to enjoy their work and innovate. This has led him to seek new ways to express what is holding teams back so everyone can see the same reality. Frequently, what is holding teams back is the network effect inside of an organization—the system reacting. Blindly following processes never solves this. Joel started leveraging the techniques in this book to help teams tell their story, then to educate managers and executives on them so they could make better decisions together. Ultimately, it is about stopping change theater. Joel has been presenting the concepts in this book internationally for over five years and continues to explore new ways to leverage these techniques to help make work more enjoyable. The joy when people say, “Now others can see what I have been feeling,” is a wonderful feeling.
