Unleashing Agile Leadership: Small Wins, Big Impact
summary
Claims that steady, visible progress beats recognition or rewards as the prime motivator, backed by a survey of ~2,000 leaders showing <5% rank progress highest (room sample 30%), and a cited study of 26 teams/238 people with 12,000 diary entries where 76% of good days trace to small progress. Offers a practical checklist (catalysts/nourishers vs inhibitors/toxins), concrete practices like a Progress Principle focus, daily one‑question diaries, and a working failures wall plus micro‑tasking examples that produce repeatable small wins.
