and to each side, but not diagonal

to instruction from your manager

HOW DID WE START TO PERFORM BETTER?
GOOGLE’S PROJECT ARISTOTLE
‣ 180 teams interviewed over a period of 2 years (starting 2012)
‣ No patterns to be found !? - No correlation between successful and
non-successful teams !?
‣ No clear insights from looking into personal friendships, strong
management, team structure, personal interests, gender etc. ??!!??
‣ Group norms were found to be key to success in a team

PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY IS BEING ABLE TO
SHOW AND EMPLOY ONE'S SELF WITHOUT
FEAR OF NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES OF
SELF-IMAGE, STATUS OR CAREER
Kahn 1990, p. 708

MODERN AGILE
5. AGILE LEADERSHIP
BUILDING A PSYCHOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT
5. AGILE LEADERSHIP
UNDERSTANDING
RESISTANCE TO CHANGE
CHANGE
▸ It’s not about you - It’s all about the team
▸ It’s all about you - You need be the change
5. AGILE LEADERSHIP
Two important rules:
CHANGE
CHANGE1.Pair up with another attendee - ideally
one you haven’t spoken with already
2.Face to face quickly introduce yourself
3.Turn around so you stand back to back
4.Change 5 things about your
appearance (1 min)
5.Turn around so you are face to face
again. See if you can identify the things
that were changed
CHANGE IS DIFFICULT
▸ Change isn’t something being taken away from you
▸ Servant leadership is an added skillset for you
▸ The “secret tip”
5. AGILE LEADERSHIP
SO WHAT DID
WE LEARN?
EVERYONE WITH A
VISION AND ABILITY TO
INSPIRE CAN BE A
LEADER
SERVANT LEADERSHIP IS
ABOUT SUPPORTING THE TEAM
SO THEY CAN FOCUS ON WHAT
THEY DO BEST
MANAGING THE ENVIRONMENT
NOT THE PEOPLE
TEAMS THAT FEEL
SAFE WILL PERFORM
BETTER AND B MORE
INNOVATIVE
BY NATURE WE ARE
RESISTANT TO CHANGE
BE AWARE, SET THE
GOOD EXAMPLE AND
SUPPORT THE JOURNEY
