This week, Dan Neumann and Justin Thatil are joined by Mike Guiler to continue the conversation that started in the last episode, where it was discussed how organizations can support their Managers. This time, they explore how Managers can help their Teams to shift to a more Agile approach.
In today’s episode, Mike, Justin, and Dan dive deep into the reasons managers must be prepared to accompany their people in changing to Agile, sharing information, and asking the right questions to ensure the Team’s involvement.
Key Takeaways
When an Organization is shifting it is crucial to know what was the Perceived Value Proposition made by the Manager.
A Manager as a Leader wants his Team to be informed and involved in the upcoming changes.
A Manager must trust and value his Team’s opinions.
A Manager must be willing to share information as well as show curiosity about his Team’s points of view about the Organization and its objectives.
A Manager needs to support and empower Teams.
In the Agile Method, words matter. There is significance in the different frameworks and mindset that come with Agile.
A Manager needs to invest in creating amazing relationships with both the business and the technology sides of the organization.
A Manager fosters communication and connectivity among all levels of the organization.
Clarifying the roles, responsibilities, and what it means to be successful is a crucial part of a Manager’s obligations.
“Leadership is communicating people their worth and potential so clearly that they are inspired to see it in themselves.” — Captain David Marquet
A leader helps their Team to upscale, so they are not stuck with the tools they already have to rapidly create value, which needs new tools, mindset, and engineering approaches.
