There are three things that affect performance at scale. I call them the three ‘P’s. Past, Permission and Perfection.
The master skill is to teach your teams how to let go of the way they’ve always done things (and the certainty that comes with it), the need to ask for permission or approval on every decision and intention (and the certainty that comes with it), and the need to do things perfectly before you show them to the world (and the certainty that comes with it).
See a pattern? Me too.
Check out these ideas and let me know what you think!

I hate to disappoint you, but leadership isn’t a thing either. Our belief that it IS is holding us back.
Leadership skill is alluring. We’ve all seen a great leader and admired them. Their mastery of language, their calm, certainty. Poise. Their influence. Their vision.
You can’t buy leadership skill. Studying leadership theory gets you nowhere.
At best, leadership is a collection of skills, most of them to do with human connection.
There is no list of things you can say or even do that assures leadership success.
Your job is to do, boldy, until you figure it out.
Your people will tell you what leadership is, and just like a good product owner, they’ll tell you what done well looks like.
There’s a misconception that a leader does all the important stuff. That they command, and others follow.
Leaders simply go first. They hold themselves accountable for a result.
They’re not supposed to know what to do in every situation. Except to be certain that they will set an example. They will capture the hearts and imagination of the team. They will protect the team from harm.
There’s too many do’s and don’ts on social media. You can’t possibly remember them all.
The best place to start is to create a compelling vision. You can lean on that anytime you need it. Maybe the next most important thing you can do is listen.
There are too many trends in leadership. That’s a trap – people don’t fundamentally change. The world around them does. The skills they need to be successful are commitment, and consistency. Resilience and courage.
Can you model that? If you can, you can lead.

Sorry to disappoint, but agile isn’t a thing.
-We treat it like a program you install or a product you buy.
-We expect that there is magic in the arrangement of principles and practices.
-We expect this to make things somehow ‘better’
-Worse, we sell it (or allow it to be sold) as though it will
-As a result, we fail to focus on the attitudes and practices that bring about victory
-Sadly, those practices still require hard work, risk and courage
-We focus instead on detailed conversations that don’t drive results
-Agile never evolves
-Agile will eventually go extinct.
-The spoils go to those who see. Those who question and learn.

How does your Scrum team handle blockers? How can you be more successful handling impediments?
I love blockers. I’m obsessed with organizing myself and my teams so that blockers don’t create failure. Instead of quitting, we choose to ‘find a way or make a way’. When faced with real impediments, how do we behave? It’s never a matter of your agile/scrum skill. It’s a function of your will. Condition your mindset so that you are unstoppable.
