We often describe Delivery as a non-event in the ideal; why not agility itself?

Must it really be such a huge enterprise undertaking – especially as we hope to infuse agility into our everyday work and culture?

What would happen if we simply moved into our first experiment as the best way of conquering the unknown?

I don’t do a lot of interview shows.  When I do, I want to bring on my friends – People I know personally who are making a real difference.

Mike Caron is a fellow Unbeatable Mind student and member, and owner of Get Burly, a US-based team experience company that is about so much more than physical toughness.   He really gets agility; embracing failure and team life…. and he’s making it happen with America’s youth in a very real way. I love when he talks about being “impeccable with your word”.   Potent stuff.  Don’t miss this one!!

Should we hand out trophies to everyone…even when we lose?  Or are we better to signal the loss and focus on the learning opportunity?  Who do we really help or hurt by calling a loss a victory?

This week, we give pause to think about all of the complexity in the agile space; the overload of books, articles, opinions, and techniques, and how a return to simple fundamentals allows you to see your way clearly in any scenario…without having to fumble through your toolkit or recall rehearsed routines.

Be courageous this week.  Ask for the opportunity.  Speak your truth.  Do the unexpected, the new, the unusual.  When you do, you define your own reality.  You create your own luck.

Ramping up a new team is a difficult time.  Confused and afraid, the early days and weeks are full of hesitation, anxiety, and expectations.  In this state teams can’t perform.  Let’s see how a team naturally evolves when you’re starting from zero.
