leadership in an agile world
DESCRIPTION
To be a nimble, adaptable, and “agile” organization facing new challenges and complexities, traditionally accepted leadership practices from the past must be radically changed. This will require more than just obtaining leadership “buy-in” to start using Agile practices. Leaders will need to evolve along with the people participating on the front lines of change. They will need to model the same value-based behavior and activities we will be asking of our Agile teams. During this session, we will walk through the journey leaders take during an Agile transformation and also introduce an Agile Leadership Engagement Model. This model will provide a high-level view of possible behaviors, work products and relationships between senior leadership, mid-level leaders and your Agile teams. What the model represents is a simplistic starting point. A starting point for you or your guiding change coalition to begin including your leadership team into the transformation journey and to start having the challenging conversations your organization has previously avoided.TRANSCRIPT

The Meaning of Management – Forbes BlogSeptember 16, 2013
In any society, if management is of the wrong kind for its time, most of the
people are miserable most of the time.
In our time, we suffer from
management that is wrong for its time.
We are struggling against systems not
aligned with Agile values.

Today, many things indicate that we are
going through a transitional period,
when it seems that something is on the way out and something else is
painfully being born.
It is as if something were
crumbling, decaying and exhausting itself, while something else, still indistinct,
were arising from the rubble.
