Execs should be taught to use agile themselves

Otherwise
➡️ they can’t distinguish between real and fake agile and...

👉 grifters with brands (large consultancies) can exploit them
👉 grifters with placebos (agile/waterfall hybrids) can distract them

@HarvardBiz Emotional agility, or @mindful_agility, combines the skill of open observation, causal analysis, and targeted intervention (mindfulness) with the skill of low-risk, rapid experimentation (agility). It delivers insight that then fuels innovation. Nice combo.

I helped a friend get rid of 16,000 Inbox emails in 2 days. Aggressive unsubscribing helps her more reliably handle new emails. My emails to her get more attention.

If you feel safe in your area of work, you’re not working in the right area. Always go further into the water than you feel capable. Go a bit beyond your depth. When your feet no longer touch the bottom, you're just about to do something exciting.

We can produce value faster 🚀 , using five whys to explore dysfunctions and optimize incremental value. Superficial analysis and reactive decision-making 💩, used by many managers, usually make things worse. #agile #mindfulness @mindful_agility https://t.co/bc0CJ4tXhu
