What is the real difference? Highlighting the implications of the Neo-Taylorist approach versus Agile Lean Leadership. Exercise to describe the differences and how to spot the status of the organization in practice. The ethical dilemmas:
-
- Wicked problems. Exploitation or sustainability?
Concrete tools for the Leader – How can the leader get a reasonable understanding of the present situation the potential for positive charge and then be able to monitor the development?
-

Organizational tools and templates – Organizational canvas and Relationship diagram. Circle and relationships manifests, different examples. Various blackboard templates for investigation and problem solving. Roadmaps at large.
Organizational patterns – Patterns are helpful ideas that can be used as scaffolding, when applying ALL values and principles in context. Contracts, employment etc.
-
- A mix of planned and event driven work
- Crisis, sudden drops into Chaos, crews, re-teaming.
- ALL Adaptor pattern for incomplete transitions
ALL in an imperfect world – Often it is not possible to have the perfect Team, supplier or complete ALL transition:
-
- Team Members pulled out for other work.
- Dependencies on outside experts or other resources.
- Too few, immature or demotivated Team members. Patterns for conflict resolution.
Change – in behavior, driven by clear purpose, useful tools, psychological safety and submitting to transparency.
