People want to be part of something that is making a difference, delivering on a vision, fulfilling a social purpose, and having a positive impact on their customers.  Agile invites us to innovate, experiment, explore, and learn.  Through all this often we can miss the true impact we are making. I will share the top success factors I have discovered in Agile transformations around the globe that are connecting people to the goals they are striving to achieve.

“Creating a system of shared values indicates what the organization
stands for – who they are in terms of crisis and who they are when the
times are good.
When leaders show up in ways that are aligned with that, it allows us
to be able to use this lens when looking at the organization and
propelling it forward.”
- Disney’s Approach to Leadership Excellence

Values
→ Reflect on the behaviors that are common among your leadership
teams and across all levels within your organization
→ Identify the unspoken values and socialize your observations
→ Champion a path forward to create connections to these values
Purpose
→ Find the why for your organization
→ Communicate the why and facilitate dialogues to help each employee
discover the difference they are making through their work
→ Share the impact connecting to this ‘why’ has had on you
