Skills of an Agile Executive Leader 3/4.
As a continuation of the previous article, finally, we have the vertical of the “tactic as a service to the operation”:
The management of the environment, the resolution of impediments, to constantly release value to the business. The establishment of the psychological security of the ecosystem, creation of safe spaces for the responsible assumption of risks and with a deliberate resilience strategy. It is very important that as agile executive leaders we ensure the existence of a mixed cadence and synchronization, initiative prioritization teams, with commercial, technology, operation and BAU teams.
Team management, as agile executive leaders, we will create a culture of psychological security, inside and outside teams to innovate and motivate employees, where confidence and team development reign, increasing team capabilities and taking advantage to learn fast. So let’s focus on performance management, orientation, confidence, objectives, implementation, high performance (culture).
The management of practices, in practice I have found various:
- Governance, impact metrics and agile evolution in the company.
- Portfolio / Program, level of performance and maturity of the programs (ROI).
- Product, Product Development Status
- Agile, maturity level of agile.
- Team, level of team maturity.
In our next installment to highlight all these skills, we will develop a real case, to exemplify all of the above.
