  Scrum is a simple framework that allows us to complete projects, continuously improve and get an early return on investment. Whether you are a scrum master, product owner, team member, business stakeholder or simply someone who wants to understand what makes scrum tick, this book is for you. Every chapter includes: 1. A concise, clear explanation, giving you a firm foundation in scrum. 2. Nuggets of knowledge based on real industry experience. 3. A brief insight into everyday situations that you won't find in every scrum book. I write this text as a certified scrum master with experience in international blue chip companies dating back to 1999. That experience includes leading projects for the BBC, General Electric, Oracle, BSkyB, HiT Entertainment (responsible for Angelina Ballerina, Bob the builder and other titles that you love watching with your kids or siblings but won't admit to) and Razorfish. These roles have all involved leadership on a wealth of mobile, internet TV and web software projects. I have played the role of scrum master and in the earlier years, of team lead and technical lead. I have had the privilege of running projects and rolling out working practices in market leading organisations from start to finish.

  A leader's role is to move others. To engage them and to inspire  them to action. Effective leaders use every speaking opportunity to  influence and inspire-in their phone calls, in meetings, in  elevator conversations, in presentations, and in their formal  speeches. They realize that the true task of leaders is to create  believers.            Many leaders take time to craft  effective formal speeches and presentations, but fall down on the  day-to-day communication. For too many leaders, "informal" is  synonymous with "unprepared" when it comes to informal speaking  situations. When people fail to communicate, they fail to lead.       Speaking As a Leader puts  communications squarely at the centre of leadership and shows how  to lead every time you speak-from the biggest stage to the most  informal hallway conversation or phone call. It helps readers to  meet the enormous challenge of engaging, energizing, and motivating  others day in and day out.       In today's flattened organizations,  leadership opportunities are plentiful and exist in every  interaction and for individuals at every level. Speaking As a  Leader reveals the leadership moments that exist in even the  most informal settings and shows how to:    Inspire and influence others, every time you speak  Listen effectively, in three dimensions  Move from Information to Inspiration  Take the "numb" out of numbers  See why you are the best visual and how to avoid "Death by  PowerPoint"  Move from Subject to Message  Structure your thoughts and message in any situation, using a  four-step model  Create a leader's presence and show your passion  Become a constant leader.       Speaking As a Leader offers a four-step model to unlock your  leadership potential every time you communicate and help you turn  your listeners into followers and believers. You will learn how to  mobilize others through the power of your ideas, whether in a  formal speech, a presentation to your colleagues, a phone call or a  brief conversation. You will learn how to lead every time you  speak.
