During the lockdown, I happened to watch the 2019 movie "The Lion King" . This movie was an eye opener to me and what I learnt in those 120 minutes truly amazed me. The movie has all the learnings & Trappings of What  Servant Leadership is all about.

In the proposed talk, I try to bring this learning to all of you. This talk delves into the reason why Servant Leadership is the need of the hour in this crisis time. I draw inferences & inspiration from the movie "The Lion King" to drive home the relevance of Servant Leadership in our work life.

The Wheel of Change is a powerful tool created by award-winning coach Marshall Goldsmith, and is designed for individuals to assess their particular skills and behaviors, and therefore to plan their personal development.

In this proposed workshop , I am going to cover, how this tool can be used and leveraged by Agile Coaches / Change Agents in their Transformation journey.

The main benefit of this tool is

1. Identifying the patterns & Anti patterns in an Agile coaching engagement
2. Identifying the right items to be picked up for Coaching after prioritization
3. Visualization of Coaching Strategy / Blueprint 
4. Transparency in the overall Coaching process
5. Formulating an Action Plan for Coaching

The proposed session would be a Hands on session with more focus on participants to identify and prioritize the right items and create a Coaching Backlog

The session can be conducted in the following 2 formats

Option 1 : 

In this option, we leverage the breakout room feature of meeting collaboration platform and slot the audience in groups of 5 to 6. In this format, the participants as a Group, brainstorm and identify the Coaching backlog and come back to the main room for a debrief.

Option 2 

Each person individually works on the scenario and builds a coaching backlog on the Wheel of Change template provided. Post completion of activity, we do a session debrief.

4. Transparency in the overall Coaching process

The usage of this tool brings out the hidden stances and styles of Coaching which we are coaches can adapt in our coaching work.

This workshop will be conducted in an experiential learning manner with the expectations from participants to share real time coaching challenges and identify their positioning in the wheel.

This tool has been personally used by me in my Coaching Transformation and has reaped good benefits to sharpen my Coaching Strategy.

In the proposed workshop, I will be using MIRO tool where participants will login and create their own Coaching backlog and place on the relevant sections on the Wheel.

I have also written an article on this tool usage at Wheel of Change: Its Application in Agile Way of Working - DZone Agile

As coaches, our focus on any Agile transformation is limited to measuring IT Output (e.g. Velocity, Defects, Lead Time, Cycle Time etc.)

However the real value from Agility an organization can reap benefits are whether Agile has really harvested Business Outcomes or not. In my talk, I will talk about how to move from a focus on IT Output to Business Outcomes

In my talk, I will talk about how to move focus from IT Output to Business Outcomes.

Few important areas, I cover include :

• What is a Business Outcome?
• How Business Outcome contributes to Value Realization?
• Who formulates Business Outcomes?
• How an Agile Coach facilitate the achievement of Business Outcome
• Traceability between IT Output- Business Outcome - Value Realization
• Business Outcomes with examples (NPS, Release frequency etc.)

One of the dilemmas faced by Agile coaches is how to transform Agile teams and business leaders, who traditionally have been following a “Command & Control” style, to a “Servant Leadership” style. This is an onerous task and there is a lot of excess baggage which has been accumulated over the years, which needs to be shed with the help of a coach.

Many times coaches are frustrated by unsuccessful attempts to bring about this change and they tend to apply authoritarian coaching practices. This might bring in quick results however it defeats the very practices we as coaches preach.

Shouldn’t a coach practice what is being preached or is it that radical changes come always with a command and force?

In this proposed session , I cover how as Change Agents we need to administer doses of anitdotes to kill the poison of Agile Anti patterns.

The talk will focus on

• Practical impediments faced by Agile Coaches
• Leadership Style to administer the antidote
• How to make sure anti patterns don't relapse
• How to prepare agile antidotes and change the composition per teams

The talks uses analogy from the field of medical sciences and co-relates those practices into the Agile world I would bring to the forum the real life coaching challenges faced and how those were mitigated and removed with these antidotes
