Frequently Asked Questions

Is agile leadership really any different than management?

Yes. Managing is directing and instructing, leadership is setting a direction and a context. Agile leaders do manage, they manage environments and context not people. An agile leader establishes a context in which staff can execute with excellence.

Is my trainer good?
No, just average. Kidding of course. Yes, really good.

We have a small number of trainers, focusing on quality, and rely on repeat business.
