Partnering Up – Giving Leaders the Limelight of Transformation

As agile coaches, we feel the frustrations with teams and leaders, we see the pain points in the organization, and we want to lead people to a more lean-agile future. Moreover, agile coaches may put the weight of the entire transformation on their own shoulders. At times, our own egos can get in the way of our effectiveness by limiting our ability to partner with others and share the limelight.

What would it mean to share the burden of transformation—and the limelight—with leaders?

How can an agile coach enable them to be the face of the change and motivate others to think and work differently?

In this interactive session, learn a model on how to connect with leaders. Join Allison and Zeenat to hear their experiences, practice in a scenario-based activity, and walk away with practical tips on how to implement this model in your organization.
