			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m thrilled to share this with all of you. As of the 12th of this month, I joined <a title="Neudesic" href="http://www.neudesic.com" target="_blank">Neudesic</a>, which is based in Irvine, California and has offices in a number of cities around the United States and in India.</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.stevenlist.com/blog/tag/neudesic/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Neudesic">Neudesic</a> is a Microsoft National Systems Integrator and Gold ISV Partner with a proven track record of providing reliable, effective solutions based on Microsoft’s technology platform. Our technical and industry expertise empower enterprises to enhance their technological capacity and respond to business opportunities with greater efficiency.</p></blockquote>
<p>I get to <a href="http://www.stevenlist.com/blog/tag/work/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with work">work</a> with my good friends <a href="http://blogs.tedneward.com/" target="_blank">Ted Neward</a> and <a href="http://simonguest.com/" target="_blank">Simon Guest</a>, both of whose judgement I respect.</p>
<p>My title is &#8220;National <a href="http://www.stevenlist.com/blog/tag/agile/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Agile">Agile</a> Evangelist&#8221;. That means I&#8217;ll be focusing on how we can be more effective at developing and delivering our services through the use of <a href="http://www.stevenlist.com/blog/tag/agile/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Agile">Agile</a>, <a href="http://www.stevenlist.com/blog/tag/lean/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Lean">Lean</a>/Kanban, and whatever methodologies suit. I&#8217;ll also be focusing on how we assist our clients in adopting these practices and principles to the betterment of their organizations.</p>
<p>The process going from day one (&#8220;your position is no longer being funded&#8221; at TW) to making the decision to join Neudesic was thoroughly enjoyable for me. I got to spend time with people I knew and liked, people I didn&#8217;t yet know and discovered I liked, and also to learn about what&#8217;s going on in the <a href="http://www.stevenlist.com/blog/tag/agile-coaching/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with agile coaching">Agile Coaching</a> space in the United States.</p>
<p>For each of you that contributed to the journey, please accept my gratitude.</p>
<p>I hope I can do the same for others.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The nature of the world, and specifically the world of <a href="http://www.stevenlist.com/blog/tag/work/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with work">work</a>, being what it is, sometimes you have to be with someone you don&#8217;t like. Right now, I&#8217;m thinking about the challenges of working with someone you don&#8217;t like.</p>
<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t like&#8221; may be as simple as mild distaste or as extreme as despising. It may manifest as a mild discomfort or as actual physical symptoms like trembling or what feels like uncontrollable anger.</p>
<p>So how should I go about handling that? For me, it doesn&#8217;t happen often, but it does happen.</p>
<p>What I&#8217;m wondering is how <em>you</em> handle it, or suggest handling it.</p>
<p>Hopefully, I&#8217;ll get enough comments/responses to make this interesting, and to continue it into another post where I can summarize and think some more.</p>
<p>So how do you handle it?  How do you handle the circumstances where you&#8217;re part of a <a href="http://www.stevenlist.com/blog/tag/team/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with team">team</a>, and you just don&#8217;t like/don&#8217;t like to work with one of the other members of the <a href="http://www.stevenlist.com/blog/tag/team/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with team">team</a>?</p>
<p>Is it different for an <a href="http://www.stevenlist.com/blog/tag/agile/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Agile">agile</a> team than it is for some other kind of team?</p>
<p>Do you take action? Do you take it to someone else?</p>
<p>Okay &#8211; that&#8217;s it &#8211; no more hints or suggestions from me.  Please share your thoughts.</p>
