Bringing Leadership Agility to Agile

For an Agile transformation to succeed, an organization not only needs to adopt Agile methods on a widespread scale, it is also essential to develop an agile culture. Overarching both these needs is the need for agile leadership. In this talk Bill Joiner presents a fresh new approach to agile leadership that’s based on years of in-depth research and work with leaders. This approach, called “leadership agility,” says that, yes, agile leaders need to adopt an agile mindset, but there’s a lot more that’s needed. The Leadership Agility approach identifies three predictable levels that leaders can move through in increasing their agility. These levels are based on well-established stages of adult development. These stages are not age-based but instead represent increasing levels of cognitive complexity and emotional intelligence. This talk covers the core practice of leadership agility, the four types of agility that today’s leaders need to master, the three levels of mastery in developing leadership agility, and tools and methods for developing agile leaders.

Organizational Resiliency Through Living Systems Lens

The pandemic has made it crystal clear that we are living in a VUCA world (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous). Organizations are scrambling to build resiliency to withstand an unknown future. But despite a lot of preachy buzzwords, there isn’t much information on how to actually DO it. Let’s change that, and look at some practical tools for building Organizational Resiliency. Looking through a Living System lens, organizations can create conditions for resiliency.  Like growing a garden, we’ll look at how to seed and weed your organization for resiliency. We’ll tackle the tough questions like; “Can building resilient individuals result in Organizational Resiliency?” and “What is the difference between fortification and resiliency?” Then we’ll look at the reverse, “What hampers resiliency?” You’ll leave this talk with a blueprint for cultivating a resilient, living system in your organization.
