Getting Results the Agile Way
March 8th, 2010J.D. Meier, a Principal Program Manager for the patterns & practices team at Microsoft and an Expert Access contributing author, has a new book coming out called “Getting Results the Agile Way.” It’s chock full of proven tactics and strategies (some counter-intuitive) delivered in easy-to- understand-and-use storytelling style. Eloquent in its simplicity. Sophisticated in its value delivery.
WHAT’S INTERESTING?
J.D.’s approach to finalizing and publishing the book.
He’s sharing the HTML version of the book, “Getting Results the Agile Way” (htpp://gettingresults.com/wiki/Main_Page), and asking for your feedback to help improve it before finalizing the PDF and print versions. If you read nothing else, read the one-page guide and then take a tour of the Motivation chapter.
THE BUZZ
“Agile Results delivers know-what, know-why and know-how for anyone who understands the value of momentum in making your moments count.” — Dr. Rick Kirschner, bestselling author
QUICK OVERVIEW OF GETTING RESULTS THE AGILE WAY
Agile Results is a way to make the most out of work and life. It’s a simple system for getting results that combines some of the best methods for improving your thinking, feeling, and doing.
WHAT
Agile Results is a simple system for getting meaningful results. It’s a systematic way to achieve both short- and long-term results that works for all aspects of your life. The key to achieving great results in an ever-changing world is learning and responding to change. Existing methods of planning and goal setting are heavy and static, and they just aren’t working anymore. Agile Results provides fresh starts for you day, week, month, and year, to get back on your horse, and version your results, while improving over time.
WHY
Getting results in today’s landscape is tough. Our world changes faster than we can keep up. Worse, we don’t necessarily learn the right skills we need such as time management, focus, or simple productivity.
I created this system as a way to help you.
HOW
By using three stories to drive your day, your week, and your year you take charge of your life and you learn to live life on your terms. By spending your time on the right things, with the right energy, at the right time, with the right approach, you learn to unleash your best. As you learn and respond, you build momentum. This momentum carries you, supporting everything you do.
So please visit “Getting Results the Agile Way,”

REVIEWS
“Never Fly Solo” is authentic, relevant, and told from the perspective of a real world warrior with a heart. If you are serious about building trusting relationships and launching your business and life to new heights, then invest in yourself and buy this book. Waldo Waldman is a true leader.”
- Keith Ferrazzi, author of the #1 NY Times Best Seller “Who’s Got Your Back?”
Special Note: 100% of Waldo’s advance purchase profits will be donated to Veterans charities!
In Never Fly Solo, “Waldo” a former combat decorated fighter pilot, shares business critical concepts for success and delivers a very human message: we all have missiles in life to overcome and we can’t do it alone. Whether you are a senior executive, a mid-level manager, entrepreneur or a new hire fresh out of college, your success depends on the support of trusted associates to help you maximize your potential and reach the top. The belief that maverick leaders and self-made entrepreneurs set the bar is no longer relevant in today’s volatile business world. While self-leadership is critical to success, no one performs at their highest level without the support of equally skilled partners.
Fighter pilots call these partners wingmen.
Like the world of aerial combat, today’s high stakes business world operates faster than the speed of sound. Teamwork and trust are critical to overcome the missiles of adversity, fear and change. Like a fighter pilot, you too need wingmen to help you to conquer these missiles and take positive action that will lead to success.
