Badass Agile

We could have gone back to normal by now….but we haven’t. Because we can’t. Things are forever changed. To the badass, that means opportunity.

Think about everything that has changed since the pandemic.
-People have seen what a balanced life looks like
-People are learning that the traditional economy is unreliable – even unstable.
-People have SEEN that the systems and rules that we were brought up with were nonsense.
-Because they’ve SEEN it, not just read about it, they KNOW that things can be different.

When the system refuses to acknowledge and respond to these changing forces….you see what happens
-People quit even if they have nothing to fall back on
-They divest themselves of a decades-long career
-They realign themselves to a passion project
-They suddenly find courage to do what they’ve always wanted to do

When people start finding courage – tasting it for the first time, you’re on the brink of a revolution.

At the same time, we have people rushing to tech careers (not necessarily a bad thing) including scrum master roles, the market saturates. So what does this mean for badasses?

A window has been opened. Not like bitcoin or NFT’s – these are real, irreversible shifts. Good ones. That means there are opportunities for you. I don’t care if you want a promotion, raise, new job, new company, a switch to independent work – or if you just want to serve better and bigger – now is your chance. You must seize the open window where the PAIN is loud and clear but most organizations are too slow to respond to it. That’s where you come in.

Not gonna lie. This takes courage.

The easiest way forward is to just stick your chest out and go boldly through the aisles.
-Ask anyone you know what their pain point is. I guarantee its not software
-Listen carefully for common threads. You will hear a lot about people – finding good people, keeping good people, motivating good people.
-Sit at home in the morning or at night, on the train or before the sun comes up with a pen and paper and start thinking about those problems. Get obsessed. read. study. research. But most important, come up with solutions. How does what you know about scrum/agile have the potential to help?
-Don’t think inside your existing box. Take the greatest hits from your knowledge and think about what you could be doing differently to help solve these problems.
-Remember the rules of the badass. Be visionary, don’t ask permission. Do the thing that has never been done before. Seek the hard challenges. Laugh in the face of danger.
-If you can’t figure these out, hire me.

Be bold. Let’s go.

There’s a lot of opinion out there. But not all of it will help you. Bickering with trolls on social media doesn’t help you succeed. And it’s not good for our craft. Choose sources that are experienced, open and maybe swimming aginst the current.

The best kind of coach is one who understands where you want to go, where. you are, and what strategies are likely to work (universally and just for you). Are you doing that?

Don’t like life coaches…here’s why. There’s a saying that what we hate in others is what we fear most in ourselves. I see a great many coaches that are either inexperienced or were raised in a certain paradigm. All of their knowledge and skill is neatly tied to those frameworks and ways of thinking.

You can’t effectively coach people if you don’t know how to identify goals and outcomes and support the tough changes required to get them. This requires intuition and certainty that allows you to speak truth to people, challenge ideals, identify unhelpful mindsets and habits, hold people accountable, and measure results. That’s hard to do, and most coaches know that, so they despise those who can and suggest it’s not important.

If you can’t connect, inspire, persuade, lead, and sometimes rock the room, you can’t coach. People always talk about how sport coaches are masters of the skill, but the coaches they write books about are the ones that elevate the character and commitment of the team and the individuals within it. Period.

I am interested in the difference makers. The factors that determine whether or not you are the hero of the greatest story ever. The true badass shares a heritage with the greatest philosophers, doers, and heroes in history.

What are some of those factors?
-Fully Commit. Forget about the how. Pick a bold and valuable result and commit.
-You’ll find a way or make a way as you go. You already have it in you.
-They insist on being measured.. There has to be a deadline or expectation. People don’t perform at their best for “someday”
-Consistency beats volume every time.
-The process of doing matters way more than theory or thinking. Execute and deliver. If your delivery process takes more time than actually delivering finished, valuable work, you’re ripping off your clients and customers.
-They continually refine and deepen their wisdom through study and practice. The greatest investment you can make is an investment in greatness.

Don’t be an algorithm-pleaser! If you’re talking about agile on social media, but you’re copying what everyone else is saying or doing, you’re not a true original. And you’re a follower, not a leader.

Strength is still a requirement – and it’s making a comeback.

I recently attended an event that was supposed to be about heroes – big impact, big ideas. But guess what? The only next step was planning the next meeting. No action. Nothing gets shipped. No “done thing”.

What happens without the strength and ambition to DO? Give it 18 months and we’ll wonder why things didn’t happen. Drained of hope and certainty, we’ll quietly shut the initiative down. Put it on the pile of things we never accomplished.

The gift of agility is not to self-congratulate on big dreams. Making the dream REAL is the only marker of transformation.
