Episode 2
In this episode Niall McShane shares some advice for sponsors and executives on how to deal with the new language agile brings with it. Confusing terminology does not have to lower a leader's mastery and capability.
In this episode you will hear about:
- Daniel Pink's Autonomy-Matery-Purpose approach and when and how leaders should push back when asked to learn new (confusing) language.
- Why monitoring, controlling and assuring is still required in agile operating models.
- The leader's shadow; how it is cast across the organisation and its people
- Why vision is more important that process for a leader of change
