- 5. S Coachability What Is It, Who’s Got It, and How to Make Certain That You Are
- 6. Plainly Put… S “Coachability is the willingness to be corrected and to act on that correction. When we are coachable, we are prepared to be wrong.” --Timothy R. Clark
- 9. And Them?
- 10. Another Way to Think About It S “A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group—that’s teamwork.” --John Wooden
- 11. Traits of a Coachable Person “Becoming is better than being.” --Carol Dweck
- 12. Change Your Mind Fixed Mindset “You are who you are and you stay who you are.” Growth Mindset “You have the ability to change through the learning process.” “The most important gifts we can give our children are confidence in their ability to remake themselves again and again and the tools with which to do that job.” --Anders Ericsson
- 13. Let’s Get Gritty: The Power of Perseverance S Practice S HopeS Purpose S Interest “Over time, grit is what separates fruitful lives from aimlessness.” --John Ortberg
- 14. Agile Is a Growth Mindset We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value: • Individuals and interactions over processes and tools • Working software over comprehensive documentation • Customer collaboration over contract negotiation • Responding to change over following a plan That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more. “A coachable person is open, receptive to change, and willingness to do so even when it hurts.”
- 15. Let’s Practice! This exercise was adapted from MindsetOnline. 1.Learn to hear your fixed mindset “voice.” 2.Recognize that you have a choice. 3.Talk back, using your growth mindset voice. 4.Take the growth mindset action. • There is an opportunity at work for a promotion. • You’ve always wanted to take tap dance. You’re 63, and everyone in your class is 7. • Everyone says you’re a great writer. Do you join a writing class to get feedback? Or published? • You’re an introvert. Do you take on the role of speaking to people at pet stores about adopting dogs?
- 16. The Take-Away S Open, receptive to change S Change takes work (perfect practice makes perfect) S Ask for, accept, and implement feedback S Collaborate whenever you can A company—and to this I would add a person, a team, or an organization--that cannot self-correct cannot thrive.” -- Carol Dweck

Editor's Notes
- Failure Walt Disney was fired because “he lacked imagination and had no good ideas.” Goddard was mocked for liquid-fueled rockets. Twenty-seven publishers rejected Theodore Guisel’s first book. (We know him as Dr. Suess.) Jack London received 600 rejection slips before getting published. Humble Your failures can be your greatest teacher. A little discomfort can be a good thing Don’t take your dog’s word that you are wonderful. –Ann Landers Desire You’ve got to WANT to be better Anders Ericsson and the 10,000 hours: 10,000 hours of deliberate practice are needed to become world-class in any field. Hard work will trump natural ability and talent in the end. Belief in self Jerry Seinfeld experienced stage fright and froze up during his first comedy set. If you really want to get good at whatever it is, you are worth the focused training with an expert.
- Fixed Mindset: Desire to look smart: Avoid challenges Give up easily See effort as futile or pointless Feel threatened by the success of others Growth Mindset Desire to learn: Embrace challenges Persist in the face of setbacks See effort as the path to mastery Learn from criticism Find lessons and inspiration in the success of others
- Getting there is only half the battle. Now you have to have the grit, the tenacity, the staying power to stay there. Tammy Duckworth wrote Grit: The Passion and Power of Perseverance. Interest A coachable person is not just interested in, they are passionate about whatever it is that drives them. They are disciplined: they practice, go out of their way to do whatever it is that lights their fire. Practice You don’t get good at something without practice. Anders Ericsson can thank Malcolm Gladwell for making his claim of 10,000 famous. 10,000 of practice are what it takes to become world-class at anything. Blocked practice schedules vs. random practice schedules. The first may improve your practice, but the latter helps overall performance. You might not improve that day, but you will the day after. And the day after that. Purpose Passion is what gives a life purpose, what makes it possible to forget the blisters or the boredom or the long commutes. Hope To be coachable is to forgive yourself, for not succeeding at first, for being brave enough to try try again.
- Good news! Agile is a growth mindset! Mistakes are simply teaching tools. We fail quickly in order to learn Servant leadership, the sacrifice of self to serve the team
- Coachability: The ability to accept and implement feedback from bosses, colleagues, customers, and others. A coachable person is open, receptive to change, and willingness to do so even when it hurts Vital to have a good, working relationship between coach and player, teacher and student, mentor and mentee Validation—a little discomfort can be a good thing. It shows introspection, a willingness to change, to move forward
