Manage episode 317543406 series 2481978
This week, Dan Neumann is joined by Buyi Kalala in today’s episode to explore the differences between Agile Missionaries and Agile Mercenaries, considering a missionary someone who is there to help and assist the team on its journey, and a mercenary, who is paid to “hit,” who can reinforce misconceptions, and even execute tasks that are not coherent with the Agile Values and Principles.
Key Takeaways
- Agile Missionaries vs. Agile Mercenaries.
-
- Assist the organization in knowing what they don’t know, leading them into a new direction, a new way of operating.
- Sometimes organizations put all the responsibility on the Agile Coach when in fact it is their transformation, not the Coaches.
- The reaction to change.
-
- Planting the seed takes time, organizations need time to process and digest change.
- Sometimes there is resistance to change and in other cases, there is change fatigue.
- Sustainable change comes after a time-consuming process.
- Well-taken decisions will be celebrated while poor actions will also be exposed.
-
- Mistakes in the Agile Journey are opportunities to pivot.
- Sometimes it is easier to identify the “wrongful” behaviors rather than having the ability to catch the right decisions to be able to encourage them.
- Focusing on potentials and possibilities is the way to highlight the behaviors that are aligned with the Agile Culture.
- One-on-one conversations are crucially important.
-
- Introverts can have a hard time dealing with the face-to-face approach.
- Showing interest in the other person is necessary to achieve a common goal and be successful together.
- Think outside of the box and try to connect from the other person’s perspective.
- Practice patience and be curious (instead of judgemental).
