SPaMCAST 326 - Steve Tendon, Tame The Flow

Software Process and Measurement Cast features our Interview with Steve Tendon.

Steve discussed how to lead knowledge workers and build a hyper-performing knowledge work organization.  We talked about the four flows,   psychology, information, work and finance that affect performance.  Steve’s ideas can be used to help teams can raise their game to deliver results that not only raise the bar but jump over it.
