Many people are talking about changing organisations, teams, managers, and many more to become more Agile. Inspired by an article on HBR, I proposed the session "Be the Change You Want to See" on Agile Coach Camp Germany 2012. Content of the session was the question: "Which concrete things can I do tomorrow, to be a good role model for the change I want to enable? How can I be the change I want to see?".
I would like to share the results of this session on this blog, since I feel that there are some very good points in the results. You are free to pick one or two items and to start changing yourself, before changing others:
- Play Failure Bow
- Make your Impediment Backlog public
- Prepare your meetings
- Make your decisions and their reasons transparent
- Communicate important decisions face-to-face
- Let others speak (and accept their opinions)
- Make transparent who may decide what and to what degree
- Make transparent what your interests and goals in any discussion are
- Reflect on yourself
- Read business cards as you recieve them as a sign of respect
- Give people time to react on your feedback - do not walk right away immediately after giving feedback
- If you do not give positive feedback very often: Search for somebody and tell him, that you want to do this in the future
- Use and distribute "Thank You" Cards (e.g. the ones distributed by Martin Heider at the Coach Camp)
- Make your own work transparent (e.g. have a public Backlog)
- Make your own daily retrospective by writing up three things you were grateful for today every evening
- Play appreciation games, e.g. "Positive Paranoia" by Ben Furman
- Do what you say - be reliable
- Give up control
- Play a role play "change of perspective" to establish trust
- Offer your help
- Make your failures public
- Do not work longer than you expect your collegues to work
To me it was a great session and a nice finish four the Agile Coach Camp. I want to thank all participants for bringing so many great ideas to the session and sharing openly! You all made my day!
