1. Celebrate the little victories
2. Respect people and culture
3. Strive for relentless improvement
1. Celebrate the little victories
Leaders who implement an Agile mindset lead by example and demonstrate how these practices create benefits in order to accomplish quick wins early and gain buy-in to support the big victories that will follow.
2. Respect people and culture
People are a part of everything we do, everything we create and, ultimately, use the solutions we provide. Considering this broad and diverse spectrum, we must stay open-minded so our teams have the culture and the environment they need to be successful.
3. Strive for relentless improvement
When striving for relentless improvement, leaders can create a safe environment for team members where they can collaborate, “fail fast, learn fast” and organically practice retrospection. This allows teams to develop differentiated abilities and optimizes how the organization builds, evaluates and deploys solutions. Teams are only as strong as their weakest link, so it is critical team leaders encourage improvement to remove blind spots.
