Agile 2
Agile is broken. Most Agile transformations struggle. According to an Allied Market Research study, «3% of respondents stated the failure of agile implementation in their organizations.» The problems with Agile start at the top of most organizations with executive leadership not getting what agile is or even knowing the difference between success and failure in agile. Agile transformation is a journey, and most of that journey consists of people learning and trying new approaches in their own work. An agile organization can make use of coaches and training to improve their chances of success. But even then, failure remains because many Agile ideas are oversimplifications or interpreted in an extreme way, and many elements essential for success are missing. Coupled with other ideas that have been dogmatically forced on teams, such as «agile team rooms», and «an overall inertia and resistance to change in the Agile community,» the Agile movement is ripe for change since its birth twenty years ago. "Agile 2" represents the work of fifteen experienced Agile experts, distilled into Agile 2: The Next Iteration of Agile by seven members of the team. Agile 2 values these pairs of attributes when properly balanced: thoughtfulness and prescription; outcomes and outputs, individuals and teams; business and technical understanding; individual empowerment and good leadership; adaptability and planning. With a new set of Agile principles to take Agile forward over the next 20 years, Agile 2 is applicable beyond software and hardware to all parts of an agile organization including «Agile HR», «Agile Finance», and so on. Like the original «Agile», «Agile 2», is just a set of ideas – powerful ideas. To undertake any endeavor, a single set of ideas is not enough. But a single set of ideas can be a powerful guide.
So macht MANN das
Die Mehrheit der Führungskräfte sind heutzutage immer noch Männer. Viele von ihnen haben lange dafür gearbeitet, in die Position zu kommen, in der sie nun sind. Und dennoch schleicht sich bei einigen auch Unzufriedenheit mit ihrem Job ein. So stellt sich für immer mehr Führungskräfte die Frage, die Spur zu wechseln und in einer sinnvollen Selbständigkeit ihre Aufgabe und Erfüllung zu finden. Das ist das Thema von Bernhard Fangers Buch. Er beschreibt, wie er selbst als Topmanager seinen Weg fand, und erklärt, was die Hürden und Stolpersteine in diesem Prozess sind. In einfachen Schritten zeigt er, wie man sein Herzensthema findet und warum es nicht zwingend notwendig ist, sofort ins kalte Wasser zu springen. Schließlich gibt es viele Wege, ans Ziel zu gelangen. Wie unterschiedlich diese sein können, beschreiben die vielen von Fanger befragten Spurwechsler aus dem mittleren und Topmanagement. So ist etwa ein ehemaliger Marketing Direktor heute Inhaber eines Herstellers von hochwertigem Convenience-Food, ein früherer Finanzvorstand eines britischen Bankhauses nun Meditationslehrer und ein tschechischer Telekommunikationsmanager betreibt zusätzlich zu seinem Job ein Boutique-Hotel in der südmährischen Weingegend. Gemeinsam mit dem Autor ermuntern sie den Leser zu einem Neuanfang – ein Schritt, der ihnen deutlich mehr Lebenssinn und Zufriedenheit gebracht hat. <br> Und auch wenn nur fünf bis zehn Prozent aller Manager diesen Befreiungsschlag wagen, sollte jeder, der mit einem solchen Gedanken spielt, sich mit seinen Zielen und Möglichkeiten auseinandersetzen und sich nicht zum Opfer der Umstände machen. Egal, ob er darüber «nur» seine grundsätzliche Einstellung ändert, aber weiter im Unternehmen bleibt. Oder eben komplett die Spur wechselt. Bernhard Fangers Buch macht Mut, eine Entscheidung in die eine oder andere Richtung zu treffen. Er weiß auch, welchen Ängsten sich Manager gegenübersehen. Da ist nicht nur der Angst vor finanziellen Einbußen, sondern auch vor Statusverlust und Perspektivlosigkeit. Fanger kennt all die Fragen, die dann aufkommen, wie: Was tun ohne das Sicherheitsnetz, die Struktur und das Ansehen des Unternehmens? Was sagen Freunde und Familie? Kann ich in meinem Alter noch etwas Neues wagen? Wo und wie finde ich Unterstützung? Auf all diese Fragen geht er offen, ehrlich und einfühlsam ein, um potenziellen Spurwechslern Orientierung zu geben und einen guten Start zu ermöglichen.
