When you call a meeting of managers together on some issue, first ask yourselves in the meeting “Are we here to find fault with someone (or a group of someones) or are we here to help make the system better in relation to the issue?” That’s leadership in human systems.

I posit to you: the most important part of coaching (in whatever flavor) is the safe facilitation of sensemaking (in whatever holon).

For the first time in a long time I’m experiencing what it’s like to feel “behind” on something. I’m feeling like I’m jogging next to a train track with a train approaching, and knowing I need to get into the train. I’m speeding up my jog to a run in the hope that I’ll be able to jump onto the caboose before the train is going too fast for me to hop on.
I wonder if this is how software development team members sometimes feel when agile transformations are underfoot and they had no say in that.
