Your team has formed, stormed and normed. It is doing standups, has retros and can recite the Agile Manifesto. Yet, it lacks spark and is still not performing at the level of a great team.
So, what can you do to set the team on the path to this next level of performance?
In this presentation we will explore some tools / behaviors of the Agile Coach that focus on revealing the underlying system of the team to the team. These reveals help to lift and inspire the entire team, allowing for your high performance team to form.
You will also find out how 19th century painter Jean-Léon Gérôme helps in these reveals, why you want to avoid ‘Flanders’ beatnik parents’ syndrome and what is the hidden fourth reveal?
