A is for agile | 3 of 5 in the HEART behaviour model serie

A is for agile | as in being aware of and able to be – flexible, in life, and anything at all.

This is article 2 in a serie of 5 | I call it the HEART serie |

HEART is then = an acronym for the “together” culture value examples. OR as I say in the Masterminds Culture Innovation program – the potential behaviour values/behaviour model. Earlier articles were about Humble + Empathy | now AGILE

?

As I mentioned earlier (in this HEART-serie) you get what you deserve, in the short and long run.

When you work for improving things – things are not good in the start of an improvement process. That is kind of the point – something is not good enough. But if you go to hard to early – you might kill the other person/people’s willingness to participate in the growth needed. So – have in mind – the people that NOW are wrong – later can be the ones bringing brilliance on board.

In the short run, you might have to take an extra humble hat on – in order to reach the position that – you can stop being flexible about the frame you and the team sat. But while you are trying to grow – a synergizing mindset, a “we grow better together mindset”, while you are on the way, you might have to be EXTRA agile on things that are not perfectly, happening. And while you are clear to yourself of the goal – that THIS behaviour will NOT be allowed when the frame is set, you have to allow people to fuck up now, without the “natural response”.

Fuckups are feedback – is the future inside a frame well set, but while it grows, it, the frame, and everything inside and outside – need to potentially be agile (flexible).

When you are working as a leader – and your goal is growth | it is hard to know when to be hard and when to be extra humble. It is hard, and even wrong, to not be agile in some starting stages of change. When you work for a change, let's call it what it is – communicating it “growth” would keep the stress response away, but change is about doing something different. And change means – often, something is dead wrong – and you should stop doing it – change towards something else. But when you – generally communicate that things need to improve – change is a word that you should be aware of – as a powerful, stress-enhancing thing.

Be aware – and be flexible – in that communication.

The other side of the agile coin – is that you should be aware and work to grow a mindset of being OPEN for more perspectives. What I call – as a part of the Masterminds Growth Concept – perspectivation. So, while you want strong confident people baring their opinions to court – they also, as you do – have to be OPEN for LISTENING to others too. Even if you are 100% certain you are right – you can't be. There is a universe of options and opportunities – so – of course, NOW you might be 100% right – but who`s to say that this can`t grow into more, different – opportunities – later, maybe even now.

Establishing something – is the starting point for it to be challenged, which with an agile mindset – is brilliant for growth. Being agile is also the key to perspectivation – which again is key for www.synergizing-leadership.com
