The Progress Principle: Using Small Wins to Ignite Joy, Engagement, and Creativity at Work
by Teresa Amabile, Steven Kramer
by Teresa Amabile, Steven Kramer
In the same league as "Peopleware" this book builds theories from evidence and provides scientific backing for what seems self evident.
Happy engaged people do better work and a key driver of engagement is a series of small wins. A little progress every day results in better productivity and creativity.
This is why scrum and especially Kanban have the impact they do. It also explains the benefit of the pomodoro method and even continuous integration (feedback from the build/the-work rewards the programmer continuously throughout the day).
A must read and I'm only 1/3 of the way through the book.
