I wanted to share these lyrics by a Belgian band called Noordkaap with you.
They reminded me at those projects were playing nice wasn't always the only way to go...
Although I do know the rule states that as an Agile coach you can never get mad, you can't blame, you always talkkk attt tthheee saammeee ppittchhh (this one actually scares me about people). But I'm a human being filled with emotion and passion, and I do wonder, do those people never have a fight with their wife or husband at home. Come on people we do all know that the best conversations happen during a fight, you feel SO relieved afterwards... (and let's not even mention the make up ... afterwards) Is playing nice ALWAYS the best solution? Perhaps it is perhaps it isn't... that Noorkaap was a great band is without doubt. Enjoy!
Would a little war may not have been better
Loudly than spoken words and nights of pain
Would a little war may not have been better
Then unexecuted murders and smiles of venom
Would not
would not
After all this grief goes much too deep
A short fight it really does not take long
A short burst and then continue
A short fight it really does not take long
A short burst and then continue
Would not
would not
After all this grief goes much too deep
Would not
would not
After all this grief goes much too deep
Would a little war not have been better

I'm checking in
ReplyDeleteI'm mad, sad, afraid that people in the agile community think we can't use emotions as coaches.
I'm glad I do use emotions
I'm glad I'm not alone
I'm glad that when I talk about this at conferences, people love this
I'm glad I have the checkin technique to use my emotions in a smart way
I'm glad that I do have discussions with my partner
I'm mad, sad, afraid I might sometimes say thing in a not so smart way
I'm glad this means I'm human
I'm glad I don't want to be perfect
I'm glad you uses 'een heel klein beetje oorlog' as a example.
I'm sad you did not put a link to the song
I'm mad I can
I'm in
