Not for me, but I do like that one of the sections is:

> 08 - Winning trust with communication

> Learn simple keys to becoming a better communicator and how to identify your team’s different communication styles.

Having experienced the pain of working somewhere where leadership tried to decree a single "right" method of communication for all developers that didn't jive with us at all, I don't take this for granted anymore.

In that case, management declared that in-person communication was so essential to the agile philosophy that all devs should be ok with being interrupted by anyone and at any time for the purposes of having a face-to-face chat (and WFH was not allowed unless sick). I now work somewhere where I don't see any co-workers in person on most days, and somehow we get tons more work done and stay in contact just fine. Weird how that works...



People constantly confuse communication with a lot of talking and collaboration with sitting in the same room or constant meetings.


good communication happens when there's good [shared] motivation
