Synopsis

This balanced guide to agility gets past the hype and frustration to help frustrated leaders transform their agile transformations.

Agile transformations are supposed to make organizations modern, competitive, and relevant. But in the rush to jump on this latest bandwagon, many leaders make the mistake of adapting superficial versions of Agile techniques, only to find that their organizations are just marginally better versions of their previous selves. Jesse Fewell's book cuts through the "quick fix" hype of Agile theory and uses decades of Agile coaching experience to unpack the mistakes that hold organizations back. He identifies the seven common leadership moves that can be used to unblock stalled Agile transformations. Once you understand these moves, you'll be able to do the hard work of building a wholeheartedly Agile organization: your transformation will go more than skin deep. Based on case studies from the field, this book unapologetically engages with the messiness of organizational culture and process change and will help you navigate those challenges in a way that works for your own people.

Goodreads review by Tom on July 06, 2020

Jesse shares some timely suggestions in this book. In the first chapter, Transformation Frustrations was helpful for my current situation. The advice in chapter 2 is worth the price of the book alone. "Stop selling, Start Aligning" is the chapter name. This hit home for me. I was guilty of selling a......more
