Unmanaged: Master the Magic of Creating Empowered and Happy Organizations by Jack Skeels https://amzn.to/464UHo7 Agencyagile.com Former executive, two-time Inc 500 award-winning entrepreneur, and think-tank management scientist Jack Skeels, in his new book, Unmanaged: Master the Magic of Creating Empowered and Happy Organizations, lays out the blueprint for how to make agencies – and many other types of organizations run better, faster and happier. Drawing on more than a decade of applied research with over 200 agencies and other high-performance organizations, Skeels presents a compelling case that managing less can be the key to managing better. In its six-part structure, the book takes leaders and managers through the origins of why we manage the way we do today, and how a new style of managing—within which one can see the echoes of Agile methods—boosts everything from project success rates to organizational productivity, profitability and happiness. In its 300 pages, Unmanaged both provides not only the rationale, but also a large number of battle-tested methods for implementing better managing, proven both within his consultancy and in prior work. The book is laced with real-world vignettes that often make managers and leaders laugh (or cringe) in recognition of their own managerial faux pas. There are over ten practical new models of managing that the reader and their organization can make, ranging from better ways to kick-off and scope projects, boost team skills growth, align better with stakeholders and clients, and ensure worker and team productivity. Leaders will be drawn to several topics that explain the power of Unmanaged’s techniques to reduce the cost of meetings, enhance DEI initiatives, and implement better organization models and metrics. While Unmanaged has its origins in digital and marketing agencies, Skeels, who spent much of his career in technology and management consulting, makes a compelling argument that the project-driven workthat they perform (complex, unique, innovative or complex projects) represents the future of human work as AI and other forms of automation displace simpler factory and service style workers. The future of knowledge work is project work. The book is written from a manager-centric perspective, informing many managerial roles found in agencies and elsewhere, including a significant focus on the discipline of project management, its many challenges and failures. At its heart, the book preaches a gospel that hints of Buddhism, urging that managers and leaders can do better by being more aware and less reactive.

Summary: In this episode of The Chris Voss Show, host Chris Voss interviews Jack Skeels about his new book, “Unmanaged: Master the Magic of Creating Empowered and Happy Organizations.” Jack shares his insights on why traditional management practices are often ineffective and how a new style of managing can lead to better productivity, profitability, and happiness in organizations. He emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, avoiding biases, and giving everyone a chance to grow and contribute. Key Takeaways: Traditional management practices often hinder productivity and can be counterproductive. Managers should focus on supporting their team and creating a culture of empowerment. Being aware of biases and implementing processes that avoid them is crucial for effective management. Giving everyone a chance to contribute and grow is essential for building a successful team. Cultivating a learning organization and setting a positive culture is key to long-term success.

The No BS Kettlebell and Bodyweight Kickstart Program by Aleks Salkin https://amzn.to/3FMJdLd Alekssalkin.com Cut Through the Endless Sea of Training BS Get Strong, Resilient, and Fit With 1 Kettlebell and Your Own Fair Flesh When it comes to getting real-world strong, carving out a lean, athletic physique, and building a body that turns heads and drops jaws, nothing beats the 1-2 punch of kettlebells and your own bodyweight. Yet most budding kettlebell and bodyweight enthusiasts struggle, strain, and ultimately FAIL to make any real progress toward their goals – instead racking up aches, stiffness, and discomfort in place of new personal records, finding themselves in an endless cycle of being stuck at Square 1. To make matters worse, probably not 1 in 1,000 personal trainers (even many of the so-called “experts”) knows how to combine these tools into an effective, efficient program for busy people with big ambitions and little time. That’s why I wrote The No-BS Kettlebell & Bodyweight Kickstart Program. I took the best tips, tactics, techniques, and strategies that I’ve learned from over 10 years of teaching real people like you – NOT natural athletes – how to positively dominate the essential kettlebell and bodyweight moves in less time than they thought possible. If you’ve got a kettlebell, a suspension trainer, and a little bit of floor space, all you need now is this book and a little bit of grit and you can be well on your way to new and exciting levels of brute strength, raw power, and personal confidence.

Take No Sh*t!: Build better relationships through discovering, creating and maintaining healthy boundaries in three (sometimes five) simple steps by Heather Claus https://amzn.to/40pUJFP My.curiouser.life David Earle said, “The more severe the dysfunction you experienced growing up, the more difficult boundaries are for you.” Craptaculous boundaries are NOT your fault. Many of us have grown up with less-than ideal boundaries. Very, very few people are taught healthy boundaries at all. We don’t see this modeled in our families. We don’t see it modeled in our friends. We don’t see it modeled in the movies. We don’t see it modeled on TV. We very rarely even see it modeled in books. In fact, when we do show personal boundaries, we’re often taught that it’s wrong. That we should do “what’s expected,” “be nice,” or “do as I say.” When we dare to stand up for ourselves, we hear, “Why are you so mean to me?” Or “You don’t appreciate anything I do for you.” We spend our lives being controlled by others, so we learn to control others—OR—we allow others to control us in exchange for love. And yet, the most dynamic and attractive people I know have strong boundaries (not to be confused with having the most boundaries). How? What? That’s because boundaries are the deliberate expression of personal power. Not just what you don’t want (or want less of), but what you do want (or want more of). Take No Sh*t explores boundaries in depth. How they show up in your life, how they hold you back and how they can skyrocket your relationships. We’ll look at where boundaries came from, how they get stomped, and examine the connection between boundaries and ethics. We’ll learn the six main types of boundaries and use questions to help you create your own customized set of healthy boundaries. AND we’ll have fun along the way! *smiles* Show Notes About The Guest(s): Heather Kloss is the author of the book “Take No Shit: Build Better Relationships Through Discovering, Creating, and Maintaining Healthy Boundaries in 3, sometimes 5, Simple Steps.” She is a therapist and coach who specializes in helping individuals and couples develop healthy boundaries in their relationships. Heather’s unique background, which includes hitchhiking across the country and working in a carnival, has led her to believe that boundaries are the key to creating functional and fulfilling relationships. Summary: Heather Kloss joins Chris Voss on The Chris Voss Show to discuss the importance of setting healthy boundaries in relationships. Heather explains that boundaries are a line between the things we want to prioritize and protect in our lives and the things we want less of or are none of our business. She emphasizes that boundaries are crucial for maintaining our energy and resources and for creating a collaborative and fulfilling relationship. Heather outlines the three steps to building better boundaries: setting boundaries, communicating them, and reviewing their effectiveness. She also discusses the importance of understanding and respecting each other’s boundaries in order to create a strong and passionate relationship. Key Takeaways: Boundaries are a line between what we want to prioritize and protect and what we want less of or are none of our business. Healthy boundaries are crucial for maintaining our energy and resources and for creating a collaborative and fulfilling relationship. Building better boundaries involves setting boundaries, communicating them, and reviewing their effectiveness. It is important to understand and respect each other’s boundaries in order to create a strong and passionate relationship. Quotes: “Boundaries are a line between the things that I want to prioritize and protect in my life and the things that I want less of, don’t want, or are none of my business.” “The goal is to understand who we are as individuals, bring those individuals to a relationship, and then co-create or collaborate a relationship in what I call the sweet spot.” “Boundaries are so important because they prevent resentment, bitterness, distance, and annoyance from building up in a relationship.” “Boundaries are a shit shield. They protect us from the things we don’t want in our lives and maintain our energy and resources for the things that are a priority to us.”
