The document discusses 7 things that agile leaders and executives do differently compared to traditional managers. These include: 1) focusing on finishing work rather than starting new work, 2) slowing down workflows to increase overall speed, 3) fostering a unified team culture and shared goals, 4) developing fully capable self-organizing teams, 5) encouraging early failures to catch problems quickly, 6) prioritizing business value over project outputs, and 7) leading as servants who enable their teams rather than manage results. The document also discusses common barriers to agile adoption and how changing organizational culture takes time.
