I finally had time to watch Tim Lister's session about Agile Leadership recorded at Agile Alliance conference.
It took entire 1 hour, but I think it deserved my time or rather I hope I deserved to watch it :)
This is a very interesting presentation with a lot of knowledge, experience and passion demonstrated by the speaker. And funny for the audience. I recommend watching it - maybe during some boring general meeting or a virtual meeting which you don't feel like participating but you had not guts to decline.
Just to encourage you, here are a few quotes:
"Your real process is what you do if you are under pressure. Anything else is window dressing."
About (initial) requirements: "We start what they [customers] say the want as a warm-up exercise..."
A project manager (woman) involved when some technical problem appeared: "I am not your mother. You are techies! ... That was a morale boost [for the team]".
See and hear it for yourself. Especially if you want to drive agility.
