Agile Wisdom from the Homefront: Leadership Lessons from Life and Work
Manage episode 494381938 series 3662841
Agility isn’t just for software teams—it’s a way of thinking, leading, and living. In this heartfelt and insightful episode, we explore real-world lessons in agility from parenting to project management, from sticky notes to strategic pivots.
Kate shares her personal journey transitioning from a project manager to a Scrum Master—and from a planning-every-minute parent to a supportive, servant leader. Along the way, she reveals six (and then some!) timeless lessons:
- Letting go of control
- Retrospecting anything with anyone
- Kanban boards for the win
- Embracing “done is better than perfect”
- Making failure safe and productive
- Listening without fixing
We also dive into bonus wisdom on the power of adaptability, embracing messiness, and remembering that true agility isn’t about tools—it's about mindset. Whether you’re leading a team or organizing a family holiday, these lessons apply.
Tune in for an episode full of reflection, laughter, and takeaways that blend leadership, agility, and real life.
