Soft Skills Coaching: How Can My Team Become More Agile?

How do I  help my team become agile?

Hello and welcome to episode 100 of the HSS.  If this hapens to be the first episode you lsten to, in each episode I discuss a difefernt essential skill with the help of an expert. I have spoken to globally recognized authors, Harvard professors, military leaders, psychologists, psychiatrists, people who have done scientific research on how to become better at the so called "soft" skills to help you thrive in your career.

I want to thank you for being with me in this learning journey. I started this alongside my graduate studies in Organizational Psychology at Harvard, and through my own career journey which at this time involves working with multiple technical teams to help them become high performing, and create an agile organization. 

This is why today I chose to highlight this topic of agility because it embodies what soft skills are about, how to integrate human dynamics to deliver a solution. 

In this episode I’ll play some excerpts from some of the folks who co-created the famous Agile Manifesto, the base document for all things agile. Let's listen to Jeff Sutherland talking about what makes a great team, Jon Kern, on what we really need or don’t need, to get things done faster, and Arie van Benekum on the essentials of collaboration.
