At work I got nominated for a committee I didn't want to serve on, whose focus is promoting methods described with stupid cutesy marketing terms, and ended up inexplicably and involuntarily drafted in to a leadership role. The methods my organization settled on doing are called SCRUM and SAFe. But these are just methods, the ultimate goal here is an empowered Agile mindset.
Related to this is the concept of "management 3.0" and predecessors. I think that people want to do a good job and give customers what will help them. While we're being told by leaders to transform by following these Agile processes, I'm not sure that all leaders understand that for this to work they will have to surrender some control.
I'm listening to this audio book called Extreme Ownership by a couple of Navy SEALs. It talks about leadership and an cultivating an ownership mindset. It talks about pushing decision making down and instituting decentralized command.
Agility, Management 3.0, extreme ownership-- aren't these all pretty much difference facets of the same thing?
