Abstract:

As seasoned Agilists of all stripes are finding, the biggest challenges with agility revolve not so much around its outer aspects—its processes, practices, deliverables, and business outcomes—but around the sensemaking, communication, and relationship intelligence of an organization’s people: its inner aspects. This is where we find the characteristically human problems of resistance, conflict, communication breakdowns, broken promises, people going through the motions with little passion or conviction, deteriorating product quality, managers micro-managing—the world, that is, of mindset and culture—the world of inner agility.

In this session, we will discover what executive coaching, leadership development, and adult development can teach us about the nature of inner agility, why it is so key to the growth of a vibrant and sustained outer agility, and how we can be deliberate about facilitating its growth.
