Weinberg (Jerry) has always been interested in helping smart people be happy and productive. To that end, he has published books on human behavior, including Weinberg on Writing: The Fieldstone Method, The Psychology of Computer Programming, Perfect Software and Other Fallacies, and the 4-volume General Systems Series. He has also written several books on teamwork and leadership including Becoming a Technical Leader, Agile Impressions, Do You Want to Be a (better) Manager, The Secrets of Consulting, More Secrets of Consulting, and the multi-volume Quality Software series. He incorporates his knowledge of science, engineering, and human behavior into all of writing and consulting work (with writers, hi-tech researchers, and software engineers). He writes novels about such people—all about how his brilliant protagonists produce quality work and learn to be happy. </p> </div> <div class="podcast-chapters"> <h6>Chapters:</h6> <ul> <li><a href="#!"> - Dave introduces the show and Jerry Weinberg</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Teaching and learning and the futility of lecturing</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Women of power</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Using fiction to help people learn from examples and storytelling</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Jerry's definition of value</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - The things that "light Jerry up"</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - A story of being asked to fix a broken organization and process in a day and humble, actful response</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Faced with a request for a bid that was really a solution that wouldn't work and Jerry's response</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Stories of experiencing and organization's views on identifying the best people</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - The Chief Programmer Team craze</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Growing as a team member, learning from the team, and internalizing team lessons, told as a story</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Jerry's vegan daughter, courage in convictions, and examples in learning and mutual benefit</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Jerry on becoming a writer and a great story of finding better ways to teach</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - The importance of the whole person and not just some role</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Jerry's book recommendations</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Jerry's top 3 tips for delivering more value</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - "Selling" the concept of what you are creating and selling the result</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Keeping up with Jerry</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="podcast-resources"> <h6>Resources:</h6> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.geraldmweinberg.com/" target="_blank">Jerry's Website</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.thewomenofpower.org/" target="_blank">The Women of Power - Jerry's site for his novels</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Gerald-M-Weinberg/e/B000AP8TZ8/?tag=devonfir-20" target="_blank">Amazon's Gerald M.
