I read this relatively brief post the other day on LinkedIn from Dr. Cherry Vu. She and Rob England are agile change agents from New Zealand who spend a lot of time working with clients in Vietnam. 

I loved the context of this share and the impact on the referenced client.

But what struck me was the title. The magic that can happen—When the Leader Leads.

I would highly recommend that you put Cherry and Rob on your radar. They are doing great work in their geography and are role models for the essence of the agile mindset and leaders leading change.

They have written a 3-books series that I would recommend you invest some time in:

  1. 1.     The agile Manager

  2. 2.     Open Management

  3. 3.     S&T Happens

To gain a more detailed look into their thoughts and experience.

And to wrap things up with a bow, this is a recent LinkedIn post that Cherry wrote. I’ve captured my favorite snippet quote from it—

The key to advancing work is the manager. We must open up management to be invitational, inclusive, serving, and transparent. Better ways of managing enable better ways of working.

To this, I say…YES!

Stay agile my friends,

Bob.
