1. Don't ignore the past – don’t assume the answer, be with the team, and understand them. Get the t-shirt because the team gave you a t-shirt as you are one of them. You can’t teach people to have a great Daily Stand Up if they don’t know how their success, increase and career will progress in the new role.
2. Be of Service and Share – Winning Others Over by helping them see what is in for them and giving the information they need when they need it. Be of service and get invited to the right meetings because they know you can help.
3. Remember the Why – Understand what your client/ boss is trying to achieve and help them get there. Our teams and businesses need us because we help them succeed in a way they couldn’t on their own. They value our Agile knowledge and experience.
4. Be okay with failure and learning – it’s not about me, it’s about the people and company we are working with. Sometimes we will succeed and sometimes we will fail. If we fail we must learn and get better next time and keep learning. My clients are my best teachers.
