Abstract

Delivering valuable software frequently is the name of the game. Teams can improve. They can be told what to do and how to do it. Or they can be trusted to engage in honest self-reflection. Honest self-reflection becomes the best and most effective means for the team finding and creating sustainable improvements in the way they operate. Vignettes from leaders at TDS Telecom, Oracle, and Calstate Management Group, Inc., and a reminder from Richard Feynman, illustrate the challenge and the importance of regular reflection. You as the leader must encourage but not require self-reflection among your team. Enable it without prescribing how they should do it. Self-reflection can lead to discovery, and discovery is the key to continuous improvement.
