The social, economical and practical reasons behind Fred George’s argument in favour of dropping the much revered agile best practices of daily stand-ups, TDD and retrospectives among others, in favour of letting the developers organise themselves, trying things out on their own initiative and accepting failure as a natural and acceptable part of their jobs.

Not sure if this suits many environments (he talks about that as well) but he does make some compelling arguments and the story he shares is a very successful one.
