Lean and Agile Systems of Leadership
Richard engages the audience with insights on leadership through the lenses of lean and agile. He aims to create an understanding of how agile cultures thrive or fail with the *system* of leadership; and, help attendees understand, practically, what they can do about creating improvements.
Outline/Structure of the Others
Richard speaks on leadership through lean and agile lenses, engaging the audience with issues relevant to making progress today. He provides insights on:
- how rationalist thinking dominates management practices and destroys value,
- how to design conversations on value as a means of aligning behaviours and decision making
- how lean principles and viable systems thinking create agile organisations - viability is a pre-requisite for agility
- how an agile culture thrives or fails with the *system* of leadership - and what you can do about it.
Note: Richard comes with a bias for action before theory - but wishes to connect action with theory to build frameworks for tackling the toughest problems we face in our world today.
