What are 6 Agile Leadership Tips To Help Build AWESOME Agile Teams?
Encourage Different Perspectives: Contrary to popular belief, teams work best when there are disagreements amongst the members on the best path to solve a problem. In the presence of different opinions and some constructive friction, the solution will be more innovative.
Stabilize Teams: In contrast to our typical instinct, keeping a team intact for a long period of time will increase the team’s performance. Furthermore, the team will continue to improve the longer they stay together.
Small is Big: Smaller teams promote easy attainment of shared understanding, collaboration, expendient flow to done, and rapid learning.
Encourage Face-to-Face Interaction: Face-to-face communication is key for enabling optimal team communication and collaboration. This remains true in spite of today’s advanced remote technology.
Enable Self-Organization: Self-organization is not easy to achieve, but it is the best thing you can do to set up a team for success.
Serve the Team: Serving the team is not a manager’s first instinct. Often a manager feels the best way to serve the team is to direct them and ensure they do not fail. This actually works against the power and capability of a team by shutting down innovation and self-organizing behavior.
