Day 94 / 100 · Transformation · Leadership's role

Leaders go first.

Teams watch what leaders do far more closely than what they say. Some changes, like funding and incentives, only leaders can make.

Model it

Do It Visibly

Use a visible board. Limit your own WIP. Admit mistakes.

Fix the system

Only You Can

Funding, approvals, incentives and structure.

Go and see

Reviews, Not Reports

Attend sprint reviews. See working software yourself.

Protect focus

No Priority Whiplash

Shield teams from constant changes of direction.

Leaders go first. Then fix what only they can.
