Leadership & Management

Talk delivered by Antoinette Coetzee at Global Scrum Gathering Vienna - Oct 2019

Abstract:
2015 was my Annus horribilis - my most horrible year. It was the year I wondered whether I had turned into an awful person, or whether I have just always been one. It was also the start of the biggest personal growth spurt in my life to date. And agile was slapbang in the middle of all this - it forced me to confront my own values, behaviour and courage. If you are keen to find out how agile shines the spotlight on our personal dysfunctions and how that can benefit us both personally and as leaders, come join me and take a look in my magic mirror. Don’t be scared, you may just realise you have so much more in your toolbox than you thought! And it will be worth looking… this I promise.

9. Development of Action logicWHAT I DID @AntoinetteCoet #PersonalLeadershipJourney #SGVIE I stayed with me. In my shadow. And I looked at my inner witch. For more than a year. I did not fix my discomfort by rationalising or blaming, and I worked with my triggers. I helped people find more stable jobs that suited them better and paid a guaranteed salary. And I kept on inspecting and adapting with the ones that were comfortable in a “consulting” setup.

12. @AntoinetteCoet #PersonalLeadershipJourney #SGVIE HOW HAVE I CHANGED? • Allow the bigger scheme of things to dominate the here and now • Softened and grown more patient • Authentically look for what’s good and working first • Embraced “I don’t know” – who knows what is right or wrong anyway! • Acquired new language • More tolerance for displeasing people

Be brave. Be brave. • Grow your empathy for everyone, including yourself • Educate yourself about growth
16. @AntoinetteCoet #PersonalLeadershipJourney #SGVIE THANK YOU! To all of you who made this journey possible – may your growth be as significant as mine. And less painful.

Land
Our capacity to respond to situations becomes larger as we develop ourselves.

Let’s start by looking at how our development as human beings and leaders influence the extent to which we make sense of the world around us and respond to it. The model we would like to share with you comes from William Torbert and Suzanne Cook-Greuters and describes the centre of logic we utilise when we decide on an action. We do not have the time to go through each of the individual action logics but would like to look at the impact of the larger classification - i.e. Traditionalist, Modernist and Postmodernist - on our our capacity to make sense with others.
Life through the Traditionalist lens is black or white, right or wrong. It varies from My Truth, to Our Truth, to The Truth, as proven by science. The Modernist lens is…… The Postmodernist lens is….
So let’s see how that would look
