Here’s the thing. If we’re honest, Agile is all about a collectively courageous state of mind. One where you’re willing to really extend yourself far enough as to uphold its principles even when it’s uncomfortable, or you’re in no mood, or don’t remember your purpose, or have any appetite to make an impact.

Every day we all make hundreds of choices in the knowledge industry in an Agile organisation. What we say, how we engage, if we should keep fighting the good fight. We choose whether to be open and authentic or keep schtum. We choose whether to say there’s a better way or carry on. We choose if we should be open-heartedly collaborating or just going through the motions.

The minimum-minimorum where we just tick the boxes is always there as an option for all of us within reach but we just don’t take it.
