The Responsibility Process

Content-wise, the "Responsibility Process" itself owns a clear 5-star rating to me. Christopher Avery manages to lay out the essence and ingredients to master the "Responsibility Process" in an easily readable, humble and inspiring book. I got in touch with Christopher's concept during one of his talks at the Lean Kanban Conference Europe 2018 in Hamburg, and I instantly knew that this was valuable advice that will positively challenge me within my personal and professional life.

Now that I finished reading "The Responsibility Process", I will use Christopher's writings as a work book and follow the manifold "Responsibility Practices" that he encourages the reader to do. The result might be a life-long journey which will be both frightening and rewarding at the same time.

So why only 3 stars? I wished the book was a bit more dense, and delivered some more background on the scientific foundation that the "Responsibility Process" is built upon. As with many American business and "self-help" books, I am left with the feeling that it contains too many pages that act as fill-ins, repeats itself too often and tries to sell itself to the reader just once more.

After all, if you are up for this kind of approach, read this book. If you are not fortunate enough to listen to Christopher at some conference, you will find talks of him on the Internet, so you can listen and decide if the "Responsibility Process" is something that might benefit the life you want to lead.
