Badass Agile Leaders – This Is Your Call To Lead The Pack

You chose this tribe. You opted in, because you’re a Badass Agile Leader.

This is the call. Time to raise your voice. You have experience, you have something to say. Your wisdom is worth something. Rather than chill on social media and bark about how bad things suck…why not DO something with that passion? With that point of view?

Before we start, I want to shine a light on someone who’s actually out there delivering on the promise of Agile. Kevin Sutherland works in perhaps the most challenging environment. Public Services, or government, are complex, siloed, and mired in legacy. Kevin is holding firm, bringing real Badass Agile Leadership to state-level teams (and the taxpayers they serve).

How A Badass Agile Leaders Answer the Call

As I was saying, time to use your voice to lift up the entire tribe. No one is out there painting a firm vision of the future. What was written 25 years ago needs some adjusting for a modern context. Lessons learned through failure inform a new reality.

A Badass Agile Leader recognizes there’s a better way that defies the pedestrian chatter. They refuse to follow the herd, yet the know innately that wisdom lives within the herd. They hold no desire on being ‘the leader’ as much as they inspire the masses to organize, and sometimes, to wake up.

That’s what I love talking about now. A Badass Agile Leader knows how to stand for something, and to stand up for something.

Not everyone is comfortable being seen, much less rocking the status quo. But if you’ve been following this show for any amount of time, you KNOW that change requires courage. Maybe even sacrifice, and growth. Or maybe you’d just like to be part of a new movement, from the second row or further back.

This is all good. But a Badass Agile Leader hears the call right now. It’s undeniable. The old days aren’t coming back. No more calls from recruiters, no more premium rates. Unless…we do our duty and make Agile relevant to our modern context. If Agile isn’t doing the job, I know you’ve noticed. You probably have an opinion about what should be done differently. That’s your asset right now.
