Badass Agile

Sensitivity to words. Aversion to risk. Sensitivity to truth. The power of anonymity and self-righteousness. Avoidance of challenge and growth. These raging currents threaten the nobility of our potential.

There is something to be said for having reached a level of self-awareness and greatness where you recognize how limitless, productive, fearless, and effective you are. Most people hold back for fear of being judged or rejected – or worse. Notice how common that fear is, the extent to which it limits most of the population; AND you begin to realize what is possible when you think and act like an uncommon badass.

Quiet Quitting is trending so hard, it has its own hashtag. What is it, and what do you need to consider?

Quiet Quitting is a passive form of protest. It is the act of giving up your duties beyond the bare minimum – without actually quitting your job.

As a leader or executive, quiet quitting is happening whether you’re paying attention to it or not. It’s important to lead the narrative inside your walls and beyond. You’ll be judged on how you handle this situation. And it has the potential to be a problem – for your company and the economy at large.

If you’re an Agile Leader, think about how Quiet Quitting will manifest itself in your teams. Know how to ask questions about what’s causing it and how you can help. The root causes of quiet quitting are overwhelm and burnout. A sense of duty to take on everything, only to have an employer take advantage of your willingness to overwork yourself. When the extra work is not recognized, frustration sets in. When the frustration is not tended to, you feel unvalued. Unheard.

If you’re an employee, think about whether you’re really sticking it to the man, or if your quiet quitting is really avoiding the hard conversation. Avoiding isn’t what high performers do. It’s not the way of the Badass. The hard thing is always the hard thing. It is exactly what we must do in order to ascend. To thrive.

For an alternative viewpoint on how to reduce burnout by prioritizing value, check out this episode.

It’s not about what you know. Intimate Scrum or Kanban knowledge does not create greatness. Your mindset, character and habits do. I’m at my best when I’m creating heroes – people of vision, discipline, grit and self-awareness. Combine these with your desire for excellent practice, and you become effective. Unforgettable.

Main reasons for backsliding:
-Not enough time to build a habit
-Not enough of an emotionally compelling reason to stay the course (alignment to higher ideas, desire for benefit, avoidance of pain)
-The pain of change is WORSE than the pain of not changing
-When things get busy or difficult, we let go of anything NEW or not related to SURVIVAL

This problem is amplified when a coach just parachutes in and delivers messaging, strategies and tactics, but can’t help the team habitualize them.

How to avoid backsliding

If you have areas of your life and work that NEVER seem to progress…you’re stuck. It’s a headscratcher, because you have other areas where you’re crushing it. So you KNOW you can set and hit goals.

You know you want to FINALLY tackle it. That thing you never tackle. You know you’re making excuses. You’re putting it off. Even though you SAY it’s a top priority. You might even be experiencing change because you’re not addressing it. And still…nothing happens.

And it never will, until you learn that knowledge and desire are not enough. The will – not the motivation – is the key. The self-discipline to take a stand, to decide, and then to execute the tiniest increment.

Then, you can trust yourself. You build the confidence that this challenge doesn’t own you. You become bigger.

Instead of acting in circles around things we can’t impact, what if we focused on those things we could actually control? The things we should control. The things we’ve been told we’re not allowed to question.
-Our time
-Our reputation
-Our Action level
-Our influence
-Our attitude
-Self-reliance, discipline
-Habits

Working to change other people, events – the past OR the future – is where we leak the most energy.

Much of our defining, outward behaviour emerges through experiences that forge our beliefs. Beliefs become default ways of acting and reacting – many of which don’t serve us. Approaching mastery often feels like ‘becoming limitless,’ which is precisely what we must do. We have to shatter the boundaries caused by our beliefs.

When our beliefs are negative or constraining, we may avoid doing the right things, either because we feel it pointless or because striving in the face of low odds is demotivating.

Here are the beliefs that keep us from performing at our best:
I/we can’t do this
We can’t change them
This won’t work
I’m supposed to be right – perfection is my yardstick
I’m not allowed to do this
I don’t need help – I’ve got this
Nobody can do this but me
I don’t have enough time
I don’t have the right tools
I don’t have enough knowledge or skill
Usually, these statements turn out to be false. Even when they are accurate, we can decide that it doesn’t matter.

To change beliefs, we first name the opposite. “I CAN do this”; “I WILL find the time.”. Changing from negative to affirmative gives us all the accountability – and all of the power. The challenges remain, but our confidence to win creates new energy.

We also have to stay resilient and committed to the goal. There’s a reason we feel these goals are tricky – they are. But toxic beliefs are only formed when we see challenging goals as impossible. Our inner certainty and ruthless experimentation will create results that had been out of our reach before.

Many of us are unwilling to hear what we don’t want to hear.

Many of us are unwilling to do what we don’t want to do.

Many of us are unwilling to experience what we don’t want to experience.

This unwillingness means we are like a leaf in the wind…spinning around in circles. We are sailing at the whim of the tide.

This is the reason for your lack of momentum. This is why you are stuck in the same place you were a year ago. Or five. Or ten. Or more.

Perhaps the reason we struggle to let agile be is because we don’t trust in creativity.

If you think creativity has no place in the corporate headquarters, you’d be wrong. Solutioning, experimentation, and innovation are all creative processes. They are essential to agility, and to providing value in the marketplace.

Because I have a daily creative ritual, I’m able to envision new outcomes, solve problems, and offer new products and services faster than most. How can you get more comfortable with the creative process?

Put down ideas daily. Don’t pause, don’t think, don’t judge. Just do. Every so often, groom your list of ideas. Put the best ones in a backlog that you can prioritize and execute on. Some will sit there for years. Some will go in the trash.

But sometimes, you come up with one that is, much to your own surprise…genius. And then you get more confident in your ideas. You trust yourself more. You become the person that others wish they could be.
