Meta-Cast

You know that moment. The one time you knew your boss was wrong, but you couldn't figure out how to convince them that they should listen to you now more than ever? Waiting for things to go sideways and then saying "I told you so!" isn't a very effective way to handle this situation, so we're here to help!

We have our list of hard "stuff" in hand, but we'd love to hear from you if there are any topics in this genre that we can discuss for you. Let us know how we can help!

Were you handed a guidebook or manual when you became a leader? Did someone pull you aside and give you some tips just before you first real tough discussion/moment as a leader?

I assume you're like the rest of us and had to navigate a few challenging situations on your own. Today's episode is meant to provide you with some real world, hard earned experiential advice. We'll share a few patterns and anti-patterns we've seen in our travels in hopes of arming you with the confidence and knowledge needed to tackle some rough patches in your leadership journey.

One of our fantastic listeners sent in a request for us to dig into The Nexus™ from Scrum.org. We know the last episode was an unleashing of frustrations around the pros/cons we see when organizations work with frameworks, and that was intentional. We ordered our content to set the stage for our discussion and review of this framework. Let us know what you think...

George Costanza: You're giving me the "it's not you, it's me" routine? I invented "it's not you, it's me!" Nobody tells me it's them, not me! If it's anybody, it's me.Gwen: All right, George, it's you.George Costanza: You're damn right it's me.

George Costanza might not be the best role model for leaders out there, but we'd like everyone to take a look at themselves when an agile adoptions isn't going the way they'd prefer it went. Don't blame a framework. Don't blame an article you read or a podcast you listened to. Own it. Listen to this episode. Dust yourself, and your team, off, and start iterating on your agile adoption!

Speaking of owning it. We know the audio quality on this episode is lackluster. Thankfully, we expect this to be our last remote recording. Thanks for hanging in there with us as we get back to recording in person!

Agile is built on continuous learning & improvement. Are you modeling this behavior every day? Listen as Bob shares his story about how he is investing in his current and future self through continuous learning. Yes! Old dogs can learn new tricks! 🤦‍♂️ I couldn't resist. That was too easy...
