Mark is 53% done with Agile Retrospectives: Making Good Teams Great
I so appreciate the many "plug-in" components presented, that allow cusomization for the context of a retrospective, and changing things up to keep it fresh. What a fantastic resource this is.

Strong concepts. Organization is not always clear, yet sufficient to absorb the valuable concepts.

So for, great insights. The organization of information can be disorienting, yet digestable. The authors appear to be presenting concepts repeatedly with increasing detail (one might argue it's iterations a la agile concepts). No matter, it's great material.

Amazing tool. If you're a leader that can adapt, you REALLY should understand how and when to use Open Space!

Mark is 60% done with Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard
Some of the more valuable pieces include "bright spots" (to discover things that DO work) and concepts around causing people to not only see, but to FEEL the needed change. Excellent.

Mark is 60% done with Toyota Production System: Beyond Large-Scale Production
Has great points, yet, at times hard to decipher the point (sometimes it's evident that it's because of translation). Some anecdotes are less applicable, yet there are many fantastic puzzle pieces. Many of the valuable concepts will apply in other industries.

Mark is 65% done with What Matters Now: How to Win in a World of Relentless Change, Ferocious Competition, and Unstoppable Innovation
The first part was quite a rant and at first made me wonder if this was as good as Gary's prior book (The Future of Management). But the second part is fantastic. For those who are interested in extremely progressive organizational structure and leadership, if you simply deal with the first rant (has good nuggets in it) then you will be rewarded in the 2nd part, and likely beyond.
