Rorie Devine is the founder and CEO of gro.team, a network of over 100 interim executives that helps companies and individuals grow. Agile leadership requires assembling the best talent, defining a direction to lead change, encouraging the right culture, and focusing on objectives rather than processes. An effective strategy communicates a framework for achieving the mission and objectives through tactics. This allows empowered teams to make decisions aligned with the overall goals. Success depends on clear communication of the mission, objectives, strategy, and tactics (MOST framework), as well as cultivating the right culture of empowerment, learning, and customer focus.
This document discusses agile leadership and introduces agile principles and scrum methodology. The key points are:
1. Agile focuses on purpose-driven leadership, social business, and delivering value through small, self-organizing teams.
2. Scrum uses sprints, daily stand-ups, product backlogs and retrospectives to frequently deliver working software. Core roles are the product owner, scrum master and development team.
3. Successful agile adoption requires collaborative leadership that empowers teams, provides transparency, and focuses on relationships, communication, and continuous improvement over documentation and plans.
The 8 Stances of a Transformational LeaderMatthew Philip
The document outlines eight stances that a transformational leader can take to enable high performance in people, teams, and organizations. The eight stances are: 1) Organizational Refactorer to reduce accidental complexity, 2) Strategy Deployer to foster a leader-leader culture, 3) Anzeneer to make safety a prerequisite, 4) Environmentalist with a passion for "terroir", 5) Coach to enable others over doing work themselves, 6) Experience Designer to design for engagement, 7) Experiment Curator to foster a learning culture, and 8) Flow Manager to optimize the whole system. Taking these stances is aimed at reducing friction, fostering learning, creating aligned autonomy, and improving organizational
This document discusses leadership and agile coaching. It will cover leadership evolution from trait theories to transformational leadership. It will also discuss how leadership needs to change for the new game with new rules, focusing on millennials. The document outlines a model for agile coaching that encourages, challenges, and develops leaders. It discusses transitioning from a predictive leader to a sensing and responding leader. Key aspects of coaching leaders include leading by serving, catalyzing agile leaders, and developing a roadmap for agile leaders.

I am often asked to run leadership coaching session or workshops for some very successful companies who are my clients because senior managers see “leadership” in the organisation as a crisis situation. I have also had the opportunity over the years to connect with hundreds if not thousands of leaders from all around the world, in different sectors of society, business, political, charity etc. What I can say categorically is that not all executives, managers, supervisors etc. are natural-born leaders. They may have a leadership position within the business, but the position in and of it self does not guarantee that the employee is actually a leader.

Agile Leadership Summit: Unleashing The Fossa : Scaling Agile in an Ambitious...Steve Greene
The document summarizes the transition of salesforce.com from a traditional waterfall development process to an agile development process called ADM (Agile Development Methodology) over a 3 year period from 2006 to 2009. It describes how salesforce.com grew rapidly initially with a small R&D team but faced challenges in on-time delivery as the company scaled. To address these challenges, salesforce.com underwent an enterprise-wide transformation to ADM which resulted in a 61% improvement in release frequency and 38% increase in features delivered per developer. The transformation process involved training employees and overcoming resistance to change, with continuous improvements made over several years.

The transformation process involved training employees and overcoming resistance to change, with continuous improvements made over several years.
This document discusses leadership challenges and focus areas for an agile transformation. It begins by explaining why organizations adopt agile methods like increased innovation and customer collaboration. A paradigm shift is needed across the organization impacting people, structure, roles, and culture. Key challenges include communication, culture, skills, structure, and measurement. For leadership, focus areas are communication and managing expectations, cultural transformation, performance management, customer engagement, organizational structure and readiness, and engineering excellence. The talk emphasizes that agile transformation requires managing the cultural shift with leadership participation through organizational change management for success.
As a new team leader, forming and building their team is one of their most important responsibilities. This involves recruiting members and helping the team establish an identity and cohesion through activities like getting to know each other and establishing expectations and goals. Regular meetings and reviews are also important for maintaining team bonds and progress. The key is selecting the right members and placing them in positions that utilize their strengths, while also allowing opportunities for the team to work together and understand their shared purpose.
The document discusses employee engagement in the workplace. It reports that 87% of employees are not actively engaged in their jobs, with 63% checked-out and 24% actively disengaged. In contrast, world-class organizations have more engaged than disengaged employees. The document advocates for coaching employees instead of just problem-solving. It promotes a two-day workshop that teaches managers coaching skills like listening, asking questions, and providing feedback to unlock employees' talents and problem-solving abilities. The workshop aims to help managers develop employees and harness untapped potential in the workplace.
This document discusses building a high performance culture at Felda Global Ventures. It emphasizes that leaders are responsible for driving performance and living the high performance culture. It highlights the need to set clear and stretching goals, properly manage performance through fair evaluations and addressing underperformers, and reward results. A high performance culture where achieving more is a way of life can lead to greater business results and wealth, while a low performance culture will limit results. The challenges of closing gaps between current and desired performance levels are also addressed.
Agile Network India | Develeoping Leadership to Enable Leadership | Vinay BaijalAgileNetwork
This document discusses the need for leadership development and culture change during organizational transformations. It notes that 84% of digital transformations fail due to issues with organizational culture and leadership being at odds with the needed changes. It emphasizes that developing leaders and talent is key to ensuring success and sustainability of transformations. The document outlines important leadership traits for transformations, such as being risk-taking and experimental. It also discusses how to identify the right talent for leadership roles, focusing on those who are coachable, open to ideas, and able to handle failures. The role of leaders in grooming skills and unblocking mindset issues is examined. The takeaways focus on learning from transformation experiences and the importance of pragmatic leadership development.
This leadership seminar was delivered for Accenture in Bonifacio Global City (BGC) for their Top ACT event. It was the first time they were doing an event such as this for their newly launched mentorship program so delivering the Agile Leadership talk for them was a very big deal for me.
I mixed a little bit of tech geekiness in the deck so the sub-title is 'Decoding Leadership in Today's World'. I also tackled why leadership is important and why it's difficult at the same time.
I also noted that leadership is more difficult nowadays because influencing people has become more elusive. Technology has increased our awareness and so it has also increased our skepticism. We don't put our faith in someone or something as easily as before.
Influence is earned. Which means leadership is earned. And how you earn leadership stems from who you are and how authoritative you are in what you do and say.
Earning influence requires a ton of hard work, intentional practice, research and diplomacy. These things do not come often to a lot of people. There are a few gems of an individual that has these and I implore people to work towards having these characteristics as it will serve them in becoming the best leaders they can be.
I also talk about passion and how it is grossly misunderstood by the world at large. It does take passion to be a leader but it is the difficult side of passion that enables this. The side that takes a lot of sacrifice and (I daresay) martyrdom.
Life is not about work and pay. Rather, it is about sharing your faith to others. Give what you have freely to others. How can you share and give to others if they don't want what you have?
Because they don't want to be like you?
The Bible says in Titus 2:7 "And you yourself must be an example to them by doing good works of every kind. Let everything you do reflect the integrity and seriousness of your teaching."
You have to be someone who matters to people. That takes authority which turns to influence.
Leadership is impossible without the willingness to suffer for something you truly believe in. The good news is leadership can be agile!
Leadership is not a long, hard development that will launch after everything has been "quality-assured."
You learn, you practice - and yes you might faith sometimes and experience 'bugs' along the way, but the important thing is to 'just keep shipping.'
This talk was also delivered to Fluor Philippines, in Alabang. They are a Fortune 500 company with more than 56,000 employees worldwide. They also have offices in Manila and Cebu with a combined headcount of almost 3,000 employees. They got me to talk about leadership for their Mentoring program. It was a very exciting time for them and I, in turn, was thrilled for the opportunity to speak about leadership in their event.
About the Report
Our team met with 68 corporates during Dec 2013 – Feb 2014. Based on our indepth interactions with the Corporates and their L&D priorities for the coming year, some of the needs resonated repeatedly. We thought why not share the findings with all of you. Isn’t it what shared learning is all about !
This document is about Top 5 needs which we will share with you . In addition, to these 5 needs, there was an almost common need to make the learning relevant to workplace.
This document is a summation of those needs and also share with you some potential solutions that may help you address these key people development needs.
This document outlines developing a leadership strategy, which is critical for organizational success. It defines what a leadership strategy is and provides steps to create one. A leadership strategy considers the quantity and qualities of leaders needed, their skills and behaviors, collective capabilities, and leadership culture. It is created by analyzing a business strategy to identify key drivers and their implications for leadership. Data is collected on the current leadership situation and compared to the desired future to develop the leadership strategy and subsequent leadership development strategy.

Beyond the Scrum Master - Becoming an Agile CoachCprime
For an organization to truly move to agility they must develop more than the traditional Scrum roles of ScrumMaster, Product Owner and Scrum team. They must create internal agile coaches. These agile advocates guide other ScrumMasters and Product Owners, assist teams with problems implementing Scrum and help the organization adopt the agile mindset.
How do you move from the ScrumMaster role to that of an agile coach? In this session, we’ll identify the characteristics of a good agile coach, how the role differs from the ScrumMaster and how to build an internal agile coaching organization. We’ll learn:
• Who makes a good agile coach
• How a typical internal agile coach spends their time
• How to assess problems in an unfamiliar team
• Metrics and tools to help the agile coach
• Getting teams started in Agile
• Continuing your own learning
This session is crucial for anyone who has a desire to help agile practices grow and thrive in the organization.
This document provides information on how great team managers build and lead effective teams. It discusses that great team managers 1) define key goals, roles, and a mission/vision/values for the team; 2) create a one-page team charter collaboratively; and 3) know how to coach team members and build trust. It describes that managers build trust by having team members get to know each other personally and professionally, such as through a Johari Window exercise. Managers also define the mission, vision, and values collaboratively in a workshop where teams discuss and agree upon these aspects.
High Performance Culture Presentation for LinkedInSam Drexler
This document proposes researching companies with high-performance cultures in the Bay Area to identify best practices for fostering employee acquisition, retention, engagement, and productivity. The goals are to demonstrate how companies use culture to maximize talent, recommend ideas for Gracenote's culture, identify competencies of high performers, and compare Gracenote's benefits. It discusses characteristics of high-performing employees and organizations, including values like integrity, passion, courage, communication, and leadership. Quotes from LinkedIn and Workday emphasize the importance of transparency, positive culture, and leadership in driving engagement. The document cites Peter Drucker and a Deloitte study that highly engaged companies with the right culture have lower turnover, better execution, and
High performance organizations (HPOs) are intentionally designed to bring out the best in people and produce sustainable results through organizational capabilities. HPOs place emphasis on intellectual capital, employee involvement, self-directing work teams, integrated technologies, organizational learning, and continuous process improvement. Southwest Airlines exemplifies an HPO through its strong culture, employee empowerment, use of technology, and focus on learning and improvement to deliver high customer satisfaction and business outcomes. The City of Southlake discusses how it can better implement HPO principles across departments and cabinets to meet strategic objectives.
This document provides information about leadership development programs for managers. It outlines 4 phases of leadership development programs for junior managers, people managers, and experienced managers. The programs focus on positive leadership behaviors like developing trust, motivation, and empowerment. They include modules on managing yourself, managing others, and managing business. The programs incorporate a variety of learning approaches including theory, real-life experience, coaching from senior managers, and applying learning immediately. The goal is to help managers build high-performance leadership skills to engage and develop their employees through a strengths-based, positive approach.
The document describes AIESEC's Team Leader Program (TLP), which provides opportunities for young people to develop entrepreneurial and responsible leadership skills through managing a team for 8-78 weeks. Through the TLP, participants gain practical leadership experience, personal and professional development, and skills development, while also contributing to the development of others and AIESEC's performance. Organizations can partner with AIESEC to support young leader development and access AIESEC's network. The TLP is measured based on time spent leading a team of at least three members or serving on an executive body.
Team alignment and engagement Agile Cymru 2016BeLiminal
The document discusses conditions for high performing teams and deepening team engagement. It outlines factors like having a clear direction, enabling structure, supportive context and expert coaching. It also emphasizes the importance of meaningful work and quality relationships. Teams perform best when members understand how their work contributes to organizational strategy. Developing trust through transparency, addressing relationship toxins, and making each member feel valued are keys to engagement.
1) The CEO of a large hospitality group noticed new employee orientation happening and decided to attend unannounced. His involvement surprised the facilitator but demonstrated to employees that training was important.
2) Organizations claim talent is their most valuable asset but a disconnect between claims and reality can hurt engagement. CEO involvement can show employees they are truly valued.
3) Procter & Gamble is known for strong internal development where promotion from within is key. The CEO and COO are personally involved in training 250 future leaders to ensure a focus on values-based leadership.
The intern worked in the newly created human resources department of GEV Consulting Ltd. for 6 months under the supervision of the CEO. Their responsibilities included training and recruitment, determining staffing needs, managing the recruitment process, and ensuring a positive work environment.

Rudy Vazquez was not initially given a C-level title when founding Technology Hub with 3 others, as they were a small startup. After growing substantially, in February it made more sense for Rudy to take the COO title to help define roles and responsibilities. As COO, Rudy's role is highly variable but focuses on operational leadership, team development, and external relationship building to implement the strategic plan and manage budgets and operations. The optimal approach, Rudy realized, is for product and growth teams to work like Batman and Robin, with one person making the final call but both supporting each other.
The document discusses quality of work life (QWL) and a quality management system initiative at Eurocamp Travel. It first provides background on Eurocamp's growth and need to reinforce quality. A top-down quality improvement program failed to achieve sustainable results due to lack of involvement from staff. Eurocamp then launched a quality management system where each department formed a quality committee of managers, facilitators, and volunteers to identify internal process improvements and better satisfy customers. This participative approach proved successful and generated enthusiasm.

Meet expectations with general Product delivery.
Take enough personal ownership for delivery.
The CEO felt that overall the CPO was well regarded
within the company but was struggling to…
4. An experienced gro.team Coach &
Mentor was carefully matched with
the CPO and they duly sent two
days together at the airline’s
offices...
5. Together the gro.team Coach and
CPO examined the CPO’s current
context and perceived challenges.
6. The company culture was more Project that Product based and needed to evolve.
She had a key skill gap and two under-performers in her direct reports team.
One of her teams was very old fashioned in its approach and needed to modernise.
The company needed to knee-jerk less and mature its prioritisation processes.
Overall the CPO felt supported in her role but her
challenges were that…
7. After the onsite analysis the
gro.team person wrote up a
playback that was presented to both
the CEO and CPO...
8. Goals were created for both the CEO
and CPO, and a date was put in the
diary in three months to check on
progress...
9. The company was now treating new initiatives as product initiatives via the
creation/early delivery and iteration of MVP’s.
Both of the CPO’s under performers had left the business and she was at the
candidate interview stage for the key hire.
The “old fashioned” team had been on a cultural journey and had really improved
the real and perceived effectiveness of their approach.

for one day on site with the CPO to assess progress and
things were pretty different…

quickly.

responsibility and control.
These changes had set the CPO up for success much
more effectively and she had…
11. With quick wins delivered and short term goals
achieved the gro.team and CPO relationship
moved on to be one of mentoring rather than
coaching and monthly remote catchups were set
up to help the CPO build on her successes and
continue to lead change successfully…
12. Fast forward to today and as the CEO puts it…
”There has been a real transformation. The CPO
is now a much more integrated member of the
senior leadership team and is really helping to
push our business forward much more
effectively…”
13. All in all it just shows how much of a
massive ROI win/win working with a
Coach | Mentor can be…
