In a world of individual performers, it is easy to forget about the power of the team. One can become so focused on accomplishing the task they were assigned that they overlook how their decisions affect anyone else. However, each of us have unique skills and perspectives that can have a positive impact on what we are trying to get done. A team is more than just a group of people, it's a human system with a collective purpose and way of working. It's built on trust and individual relationships, and it stems from servant leaders that create a safe space to communicate and collaborate. Harnessing the power of the team is not an easy thing to do, but when done right, a team can accomplish unimaginable things. In today's podcast, we sit down with agile leader, Lakshmi Ramaseshan, and dive into topics such as showing up as a scrum master, psychological safety, and how to create a team culture within an organization.

Our Speaker: Lakshmi Ramaseshan

Lakshmi started out as a developer, but after being asked to serve as a liaison, bridging the gap between her team and the customer, Lakshmi's desire to best serve her organization began to take shape. With her drive and passion for serving others, Lakshmi quickly moved into more formal roles such as product manager, scrum master and agile coach, earning her over 15 years of experience as an Agile leader. Despite her knowledge, Lakshmi remains humble, staying engaged with agile communities and continually uncovering better ways to grow her team and her life. We are proud to introduce Lakshmi Ramaseshan.
