October 23, 2019 Badass Unscripted – How To Have A Coaching Mindset
Start with the approach that you co-create agility WITH your teams. Its not something you force or install. Be the living example of embracing and chasing failure as the best way to improve. Always treat adoption and ’shifting’ as a never-ending journey….but your coaching engagement itself must have an expiry date so you can focus on creating learners and leaders from within. Help people get closer to what THEY want before asking them to hit homeruns for the team or the organization. Maintain a positive mental attitude – especially in the worst of times – because your presence is always contagious.

October 17, 2019 Badass Unscripted – On “Cheaper”

October 15, 2019 Episode 111 - How To Train Integrity
It’s easy to act with integrity when your environment doesn’t challenge your standards. But how do you teach others to act with integrity when it matters?
* You must lead by example, and simply show integrity first. Act like an owner, be transparent, ask for help, communicate, lean into the hard challenges, and be most accountable when the failure is most costly
* Create low stakes for others to replicate you behaviour - at least at first - this means lowering the cost of genuine, honest mistakes.
* Remember, it all begins with vision, Know who you are and how you serve; and the hills you would die on….your standards.

October 08, 2019 Badass Unscripted – Multi-Project Teams
Its all too common to have ‘agile’ teams that work on 5 or more projects at the same time. In theory, more is better; but spread too thin, a team loses immersion, continuity, and momentum. Know the upsides and downsides so that, if you can’t convince leadership to create committed, co-located teams, you can communicate the tradeoffs, and set expectations accordingly.

October 07, 2019 Episode 110 - Making Work Visible
Why Is ‘Make Work Visible’ one of the three Scrum artifacts? Why does it matter and how can you apply it to non-technical and non-scrum initiatives?
* Making Work Visible doesn’t seem like an artifact, but in fact is a way of thinking about delivery and status that eliminates the overhead of collecting and producing status reports
* The easiest way to make work visible is to publish done things, but there are many other practices that make true ’status’ more available and transparent
* These techniques also apply to non-technical product
