Is your agile stagnant? Are your teams "stable", but uninspired? Have the fancy new frameworks left you wanting more? Then this session is for you.

When we started our agile journey, experts offered several warnings and checklists for bad practices. From seven agile sins to Scrum-butts, we all know what we must absolutely avoid. But what if the most common anti-patterns are a fertile ground for exploring high performance? What if the sporadic standup is a sign of deep democracy? What if your erratic velocity reflects a self-driven team that jumps on opportunities?

In this hands-on workshop, participants will confront their deepest held agile convictions, and discover which practices have been holding us back this whole time.

Is that it? Are you wondering if your agile transformation is living up to all the hype. Granted, many have used agile approaches to increase visibility, and release small wins. But often the transition leaves organizations with increasing customer demand, and no change in costs or employee retention scores. What gives?

It turns out, the problem is you and me.

In this hard-hitting talk, leadership coach Jesse Fewell reveals well-intentioned leaders at all levels fall victim to several common anti-patterns. From being spread too thin, to banging your head against constraints, to forgetting about your own internal growth, these issues will sound painfully familiar. Instead of introducing a transformation methodology, the key insights will center around looking in the mirror.

Come join this provocative conversation, where you will hear recommendations that pull no punches for team leads, managers, department heads, and executives alike to become the leaders that drive true excellence.
