Atomic Talk Title: Modern Management: Adapt How You Lead for Agile Success

 

Too many people say, “With agile, we don’t need no stinkin’ managers.” However, because managers create and refine the culture, modern managers create and refine the agile culture. Without modern management, any agile initiative will die. It’s time to invite managers to change their behaviors and create a real agile culture.

Talk Takeaways

  • Identify the three management principles that create modern management (managing yourself, creating a harmonic whole, management innovation).
  • Review the necessary culture changes.
  • Consider how managers can start to change their behaviors, realizing they don’t have to be perfect.
