Turn the Ship Around! by L. David Marquet

3.0

Quick read. It put terms behind some of my favorite aspects of pair programming, like "deliberate action" and prefacing an action with "I intend [to do X in order to achieve Y]" -- specific ways of thinking out loud that are productive while collaborating. I also closed with book with some bullets on how to improve my one-on-ones and group meetings. Certainly much of the advice in this book depends on having a motivated team with the right mindset, but in such circumstances I think the ideas in this book would be transformative.
