How’s that for a little topic to clear out in a blog post? I promise this will be just a short thought… even though the title promise more of a book. Well, after the last couple of weeks at my work I just wanted to write down a thought that I keep coming back to. I’m very proud to be...

Have you noticed that people and organizations that are great have a lot of luck? And the opposite is also true: a poorly managed companies are unluckier. In my experience. Now, I don’t think luck has anything to do with it (no - this is not a post about my Christian faith, please contact me for that :)). Which is...

Have you ever had a conversation and then a couple of hours later you come up with a much better way of stating your matter or a better phrasing? This feeling is shown to great effect in “The Comeback” episode of Seinfeld. I almost always have those kinds of revelations after coaching gigs. Sometimes during the gig which is helpful...

Yesterday I had the good fortune to have a chat with Woody Zuill over Skype. I was a really nice hour that just flew by, where we exchanged stories, ideas and had a few laughs. Let me, as a side note, just say that I love that; just exchanging stories with people. I always learn new stuff and quite often...

Source: Amazon I’ve just concluded a vacation during which I had time to build a lot of Lego with my sons. That’s really a lot of fun and very developmental for the kids, I noticed. With my oldest, Albert, we had much fun following the instructions and building the house to the left. My other sons prefer to build something...

The last couple of days I have enjoyed the speed and easy-going-flow that Node, KoaJs and Heroku gives me. It’s truly blows me away and I have been tweeting stuff like: Once @heroku tool belt is set up the first time deployment is SILLY simple. I’m talking 20 seconds, including #mongodb provisioning #amazed — Marcus Hammarberg (@marcusoftnet) June 18, 2014...

I’m a programmer. But I, for some strange reason, often find myself doing management consulting on different levels. Since my basic schooling is in programming I sometimes often find myself using principles that work well for programming in management. One such principle was something I picked up about 10 years ago and I’m still reaching for that every day. Here’s...

A couple of days ago I had a great experience in why a modular framework is a great thing, that I wanted to share in this blog post. You will follow the EXACT path of my thinking. Yes, it might scare you but… it will not take very long. Before we start, I’m sure theres a number of times when...

A couple of days ago I learned about the 7 Levels of Delegation in the Management 3.0 book by Jürgen Appelo. The last level of delegation (aptly named Delegate) is defined as: You leave the decision to them and you don’t even want to know about details that would just clutter your brain. Yes, that. Give someone a responsibility and...

There’s no secret that I like the writings (and presentations) of Captain David Marquet. If you haven’t seen this video do that instead of reading this. It changes a whole lot about how I look at leadership. One of the best tips in the book is the small imperative sentence: Move the authority to the information! However, often when I...
