🌟 Day 23: What I Learned Today 🌟 Today I learned the difference between Managing and Coaching in Agile through a real team situation. In one project, our manager noticed deadlines slipping. He jumped in, reassigned tasks, set stricter timelines, and pushed us harder. It worked short term — we delivered — but the team felt stressed, juniors felt ignored, and seniors were frustrated. That was management in action. Later, the same manager tried a different approach. Instead of just assigning work, he paired juniors with seniors, encouraged us to bring our own solutions in daily stand-ups, and gave feedback in a supportive way. We not only met deadlines but also learned new skills and started trusting each other more. That was coaching in action. 💡 My takeaway: Management helps you meet the goal, but coaching builds a stronger team for the future. Agile leaders need to do both — but lean into coaching when it comes to people. 👉 What about you — have you had a manager who also acted like a coach? How did it change your work? #Day23 #LearningJourney #Agile #Scrum #Coaching #Leadership
