   The Lean Mindset: Ask the Right Questions #theleanmindset #vbooks What company doesn't want energized workers, delighted customers, genuine efficiency, and breakthrough innovation? The Lean Mindset shows how lean companies really work-and how a lean mindset is the key to creating stunning products and delivering amazing services. Through cutting-edge research and case studies from leading organizations, including Spotify, Ericsson, Intuit, GE Healthcare, Pixar, CareerBuilder, and Intel, you'll discover proven patterns for developing that mindset. You'll see how to cultivate product teams that act like successful startups, create the kind of efficiency that attracts customers, and leverage the talents of bright, creative people. The Poppendiecks weave lean principles throughout this book, just as those principles must be woven throughout the fabric of your truly lean organization. Learn How To Start with an inspiring purpose, and overcome the curse of short-term thinking Energize teams by providing well-framed challenges, larger purposes, and a direct line of sight between their work and the achievement of those purposes Delight customers by gaining unprecedented insight into their real needs, and building products and services that fully anticipate those needs Achieve authentic, sustainable efficiency without layoffs, rock-bottom cost focus, or totalitarian work systems Develop breakthrough innovations by moving beyond predictability to experimentation, beyond globalization to decentralization, beyond productivity to impact Lean approaches to software development have moved from novelty to widespread use, in large part due to the principles taught by Mary and Tom Poppendieck in their pioneering books. Now, in The Lean Mindset, the Poppendiecks take the next step, looking at a company where multidiscipline teams are expected to ask the right questions, solve the right problems, and deliver solutions that customers love.

   Think Straight: Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life. #vbooks

   THINK STRAIGHT Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life. #thinkstraight #vbooks I know something about you without knowing you. I bet you spend a lot of time in your head. You know, thinking, worrying, stressing, freaking out - call it whatever you want. I call it a preoccupied mind. And with what? Ninety-nine percent of your thoughts are useless. William James, once the leading psychologist in America, and one of the founders of the philosophical school of pragmatism, put it best: "A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices." Pragmatism believes that the mind is a tool. Your mind should work for you, not against you. People who don't master their mind, don't believe it's possible. They say: "I can't help but thinking these things." Well, you can take control of your mind with enough practice. I've done it. And in Think Straight, I share exactly how. It's a quick listen, and you can use it to immediately to improve your thinking. You have the ability to decide what you think. Or, you can choose not to think. And that is one of the most important and most practical things you can learn in life. Before I learned that skill, I would spend hours and hours inside my head. Just think about how much you think: "I wonder what my boss thinks?" "What happens if I screw up and lose my job?" "What if my business never takes off?" "Does she love me?" "Why does my life suck?" "What if I get cancer?" "I can't finish anything. What's wrong with me?" And the list goes on. Think Straight reveals the recipe for taking control of your mind, so you can improve your life, career, relationships, and business. I wrote this little book in a way that you can listen to it more than once. And I hope that this book serves as an anchor to you - especially during trying times. The mind is the most powerful tool on earth. Change the way you think. And you'll change your life.
