The missing part in the middle is not only causing the difficulties in daily scrum work but also damaging long-term growth of high-tech companies. Sorry to emphasize the side-effects of agile strategy although it can be arguable to wake people. … More evidences will be seen soon even almost no one is now talking about it.

First rephrasing the main point in the blog. Please keep the concentrating and questioning state of mind.

Some other solutions, that the zen tradition has kept for the last 1000 or 2500 years, depending on how you count:
* Trust to the wisdom of people. You can not explain what needs to be learned and experienced by themselves.
* You help people (and yourself) to concentrate by creating empty time and space in their hectic life. To create boundaries for this time you use concrete means, like silence, timing and place (meditation room). You use also subconscious conditioning like smell of incense, similar sounds, repeated rituals and timing.

Interesting similarity to Scrum and retrospectives. But Scrum, even the name, has it’s background in Nonaka’s research of the Japanese culture.

If you wish to read about zen, there is a huge list of books about this thing that cannot be explained. My favorites are:
Joko Beck: Everyday zen
Shunryu Suzuki: Zen Mind Beginners Mind
Zenkei Shibayama: Zen Comments on Mumonkan

I definitely do not disagree.
I guess, it was not written to be against something, just to show things as seen by the author.
It was fun to read and many things to fully agree!
The principles seem familiar to me from a perspective of my TaiJi background.

Hope people become convinced also when they start from a different perspective.
