The Responsibility Process

Not only for work as a Scrum Master and Agile Coach, but for all areas of life, this book conveys a self-responsible mindset through theory and practice, with many practical exercises for self-reflection. It offers tips and tricks for developing responsibility within teams or across the entire organization. How do we recognize our mental thought patterns that influence how we make decisions, demonstrate leadership, and take responsibility? Christopher Avery shows the way and the intermediate steps to true accountability with The Responsibility Process™. His model describes the inherent behavioral patterns we use to respond to a problem. Initially, we go through the stages of "Blaming," "Justifying," "Shaming," and "Committing," before reaching the final stage of "Responsibility," where the problem is truly embraced and creatively solved. This book provides you with concrete tools, practices, and leadership wisdom to consciously apply this process, enabling powerful and effective action for yourself and others. The second edition of the German version has been expanded to include the topic of "Responsibility Journal" and supplemented with practical case studies.
