SPaMCAST 846 features a discussion based on Seth Godin’s blog, Seth stated. “Busy is a morally superior distraction. Busy gets us off the hook. Busy is a great place to hide.” The comment greatly impacted me because I had a conversation in which someone had equated being busy to value and productivity. Efficiency is vital. It is however only a tool for improving productivity and value – not the ultimate goal.

We will also have a visit from Jeremy Berriault, the Evolutionary Agilist. Mr. Berriault and I discuss the distinction between manipulation and persuasion.

Re-read Saturday News

Now for something completely different. Over the past few years, I have contemplated philosophy in the context of work and life. Our re-reading of How To Be A Stoic by Massimo Pigliucci is just the tip of the iceberg. Today we take the second exit at the roundabout and start the read/re-read of Development as Freedom by Amartya Sen.

SPaMCAST 847 will feature a discussion with Pete Oliver-Krueger and Michael Dougherty. We will discuss their new book, Shift: From Product To People. Shift is a business novel of organizational change. I think you will find this an important view into change and transformation.
