#27 The road to agile is agile: who dares to take the lead

No matter where and how you start, 1 thing will lead to the other. Agile will affect the way of working, the structure, the way we manage teams and communicate with each other, the way information flows through the organisation, the way we are leading and directing the organisation! So, the road to agile is agile: who dares to take the lead? Is it the agile coach, scrum master, OD expert or is HR brave enough to take a step forward? Subscribe to YouTube channel...

#9 Society’s Effect on Organizational Change

10 years ago you’d be laughed out of the building if you used words like love and vulnerability in the boardroom. Today, there seems to be a trend towards stripping away the noise as leaders understand that meaningful change isn’t going to happen through the $4 million worth of buzzword-filled documents that big consulting firms like to deliver.From the ineffectiveness of the carrot and stick method, to the effect that societal change has on our organizations, Paul Gibbons, who helped launch the...
