I was on the phone with Catherine Louis this morning, and she raised some interesting points. She had been at a conference in Paris recently, and raised this topic, and it apparently really hit a nerve with the attendees.
Here's part of what she discussed:
What is an Agile leader? If you're three months into a company, which leaders are you looking for... who do you want to know? What go-to people can you identify to help you in the following areas.
- Career Counseling: What's the right direction to take in this company?
- Decisions: Who's the sounding board who can help you make trade-off decisions?
- Architect: Who knows the company's architecture? Not the published one,the real one.
- Impediment Remover: Who can get problems removed for you?
Catherine said a number of people photographed the over-sized Post It note, then someone took it and kept it. :) Those are always good signs you've touched on a nerve.
There was more content on the note, but if the topic interests you, you're in luck. Catherine will be revisiting this topic at the upcoming Agile Coach Camp. It's an open space event, so bring your ideas, and brainstorm with Catherine on what an Agile leader is.
Some of the other speaker/attendees will be Ken Pugh, Linda Cook, Bob Galen, Dawn Cannan, Mike Cottmeyer, and more!
There are only 35 spaces left! I hope to see you there.
