Badass Agile episodes

July 14, 2021Episode 187 – Paint With The Big Brushes
Creativity requires freedom. The ability to desire and dream with impunity. That doesn’t happen by accident. You have to enable and defend it.
Remove the cost of failure
Stand between your team (and their creativity) and danger (rejection, judgment)
Once earned, make sure the brushstrokes are big and colourful, otherwise nothing changes
Growth and development is done in consistent single-digit developments. Innovation is often done in grand moments that emerge from the daily disciplines
Dream big. You’re going to fail anyway – why fail at something small?

July 12, 2021 Episode 188 - Patience and Persistence
To grow yourself AND your team, develop your patience and persistence.

Although the industry would like you to believe that great delivery and performance are days away, the really good stuff takes time.

In the beginning, we all have to find our feet. At the bottom of the hill, everything is a climb. If you can't push consistently upward, gravity will pull you right back down.

A new team might even resist the ascent; scurrying back to their cubicles so they can stay out of sight and privately fall back to the way we've always done things.

In the beginning, there is a lot of frustration and impatience when results don't come. Things won't seem to be working, and that will create a feeling of panic and a loss of safety. Despite the marketing materials, this doesn't feel better. This doesn't feel good. The tension, doubt, and dissent are palpable.

In the beginning, you will deliver less than you are capable of. You will question if you are worthy, you willl question if this is the right path for you. You will question if you are capable.

There are two things you need to do at the same time.

1. Be patient
2. Be persistent

Your character as a leader, and in fact as a human being are determined by how you handle confusion, disarray and failure to perform - not just in the beginning - but throughout your development and career.

PATIENCE:

-You need to watch teams go through the motions
-You need to let them fail. (Sometimes badly)
-You need to protect them from the cost of failure
-You need to resist shifting course too early and too often. Don't panic - be comfortable with uncomfortable
-You need to be able to get "out of your head" and see progress, however small.

PERSISTENCE:
-You can never take your foot off the gas
-You can never stop learning
-You can never turn your back on (give up on) yourself or your team
-You need to meet people where they're at and accept what is
-You need multiple ways to get the job done
-You need to see success as small but consistent effort over time, not a big bang result

July 08, 2021 Badass Unscripted - Distractions
The biggest disruptor of productivity is distraction. No matter how small, distractions interrupt flow, engagement, and deep work. The biggest offender is usually electronics - smartphones, laptops, wearables - but really, its anywhere you choose to allow your focus to escape to.

June 28, 2021Episode 186 – Own Your Time
We must be careful to ensure that we own our time.
We frequently complain that we are ‘overloaded’
Overwhelm is not something that is done TO YOU. It is something that you accept; or even welcome.
The antidote is simple but hard:
Say no all day every day
Limit your participation in meetings
Delegate, automate, eliminate, integrate
Don’t seek perfection or any ‘100%’ measure (always on time, workout 7 days a week, always available)
Never book meetings with more than 8 people for more than 20 minutes – anything else excuses “laziness of thought and action” (using time because its there) and invites too many voices – as well as prioritizing consensus.
Turn off all notifications that demand your response (messaging apps, emails, calls)

June 22, 2021 Agile In Toronto At Night – Adam Smith
Most of us (especially in the midst of global stay-at-home orders) experience our favourite brands digitally far more than we do physically. Great creative and experience design is fascinating; especially knowing it can make or break attraction and loyalty.
Adam Smith, of Tension (https://wearetension.com) is in the business of partnering with firms along the entire strategy-to-build cycle. His fractional service offering is a great study in democratizing high-end services for all. In this episode Adam shares his story of finding his way to passionate, fulfilling work, how agile and design are related, and why design partnerships are critical to building a brand.
You can reach Adam via email at [email protected], and find his LinkedIn profile here.
