Episode 011: Leadership is in Collaboration
Join me and my guest, Christine Marty-Kotecki, Director of People Development at IKOS, as we talk about her personal Agile journey, how creating an amazing workplace is THE place for shared leadership, and how creating the space for creativity is possible by giving power to others.

Episode 009: Scrum Master Significance & the Power of Relationships
Join me and my guest, McCaul Baggett, Scrum Practice Coach with Scrum Inc., as we talk about how now, maybe more than ever, Scrum Masters play a vital leadership role in an organization - paying attention to team engagement, health, and delivery while building bridges across the organization to remove barriers, amplify success, and contribute to a healthy workplace - whether it be virtually, in-person, or a mix of both. Highlights of our conversation include: - how paying attention to people's well-being has changed in our virtual world and what Scrum Masters can do to slow down enough to check-in and be present - and sometimes say the hard things that need to be said so others can hear it - the importance of relationships and why getting close with HR can be a powerful way for Scrum Masters to help increase real engagement awareness for the organization - what metrics actually matter and how making them visible across teams and organizations regularly can empower many to share in the responsibility of sustaining a healthy workplace that also delivers a ton of value for those it serves To learn more about McCaul and his work click here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dcscrummaster/ To learn more about Scrum Inc. click here: https://www.scruminc.com/ To learn more about our work at llewp click here: https://www.thellewellingroup.com/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/inthellewp/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/inthellewp/support

Episode 007: A beautiful journey…making the shift to a truly Agile Culture
Note: We have a few shaky audio spots within...stick with us for a truly inspiring story! Join me and my guest, Waleed Riaz, from Pakistan-based DPL, as he shares how he and the people of DPL worked together to create a thriving workplace culture that embraces the Agile mindset. Waleed’s radical transparency shines through as he shares the mistakes, learning, and ultimate success of making the shift at DPL! Some of my favorite points include: realizing the shift to being successful with Agile methods starts with and requires work on company culture first - and how DPL learned this after a few less-than successful attempts how shared leadership of the culture, delegated decision making, and having the courage to embrace radical transparency made the biggest difference to lasting success realizing that not everyone may embrace the change and that making it ok for people to choose to stay or leave is an exercise in leadership and respect for people To learn more about Waleed and the DPL journey, click here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dpl-hr-87899a106/detail/recent-activity/ To learn more about the work we get to do at llewp click here: http://www.llewp.com/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/inthellewp/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/inthellewp/support
