Wow! Learning about Immunity to Change straight from Deborah Helsing, EdD, Robert Kegan, Maria DeCarvalho and Lisa Lahey was a thing I had been wanting to do for years, and it was hard, rewarding and connecting all at the same time. We didn’t have an agreement in place about sharing the final class photo, so I’m not doing that. But I met so many amazing humans these last three days and did so much guided introspection. I need to rest this weekend.

To scale agile well, I wonder if there are two basic approaches. You can be extremely disciplined, or extremely adaptable. You’ll say “why not both?” I’ll let you think about that.

One thing that sets apart people who take agility seriously is that they deliberately take time to reflect. On themselves, on their practices, on their personal communication and collaboration, and on their own learning and growth.

It is not the clay nor the empty space that makes a vessel useful. It is gravity. Be gravity.

One more thought on AI. It seems to me we need to call what exists now something different, maybe more precise. I suggest “faketelligence” or maybe “factelligence”.

Every agile debate (on LinkedIn), whether it’s about S_Fe or some other thing: “Look, I can be trusted. Everyone else is just here to make money.” And I’m looking in the mirror as I’m saying this.

“I’ll tell you the problem with the […] power that you’re using here: it didn’t require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn’t earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don’t take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could and before you even knew what you had you patented it and packaged it and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now you’re selling it, you want to sell it!”

Isn’t it interesting that in English the words for the two most common genders both anchor on “male” in some way? In other languages there is much more separation from a linguistic perspective. Compare “woman/man” and “female/male” with:

German: “Frau/Mann”
Danish: “Kvinde/Mand”

I wonder if there is significance to this that goes beyond mere words. Maybe there isn’t, but I find it interesting.
