Agile Leadership in a VUCA World
With the entry of disruptions and dynamic external environment changes, the traditional mindset of being comfortable with the status quo mainly depending on evolutionary change resting one’s comfort zone no longer works. What works is to become a person with agile mindset.
An agile mindset is the set of attitudes and values supporting an agile working environment. These includes respect, collaboration, improvement and learning cycles, pride in ownership, focus on delivering value and ability to adapt to change. Agile can’t be implemented within the assumptions of traditional management practice. Agile means embracing fundamentally different assumptions. For traditional managers, the process usually isn’t comfortable. It is only over time and through actual experience and practice that Agile become second nature and automatic. This is not about “doing Agile.” It is about “being Agile.”
Agile is about embracing a different mindset. When people in the organization have the right agile mindset, it hardly mattered what tools, processes and practices they were using, the Agile mindset will make things come out right. Conversely, if people don’t embrace the Agile mindset, even if they implement every tool and process and practice the traditional way, no benefits would flow. Agile start with mindset.
