I’m excited to share this episode of the Inspiring Tech Leaders podcast, where I’m joined by the brilliant Giles Lindsay – CTO, Board Advisor, Agile thought leader, and Founder of Agile Delta Consulting.
With over 25 years of experience leading digital transformation across startups, scale-ups, and global enterprises, Giles has a wealth of insight into what it really takes to build high-performing tech teams and unlock agility at scale.
In this episode, we discuss:
💡 The CLEAR model from his book Clearly Agile
💡 The myth of “doing Agile” vs. being Agile
💡 How to build cultures of experimentation and psychological safety
💡 Why post-heroic leadership is the future
💡 The biggest Agile transformation pitfalls — and how to avoid them
💡 How AI is reshaping agility in product and delivery teams
Whether you are a tech leader, agile coach, or product strategist, this episode is packed with valuable insights on how to lead with clarity, purpose, and empowerment.
A huge thank you to Giles for such a thoughtful and energising conversation. Let’s keep pushing the boundaries of modern leadership and continuous improvement.
