Leading Beyond Change: How Agilists Deliver Real Results

Written by Michael Sahota and Audree Tara Sahota

Narrated by Wayne Shepherd

The leaders of a popular agile training program write about the role of self-deception in agile transformation and building high-performance cultures. When you untangle the web of lies and half-truths around you, your organizational change will get a lot more predictable.

The key to surviving organizational change is sorting through the truths, half-truths, and lies—beginning with the ones you tell yourself. That way you don't end up overpromising and underdelivering, and you can weather troubling times in your organization. Truth, including inner truth, is key to surviving organizational change and achieving truly agile leadership.

Using case studies from the most successful companies, Michael and Audree Sahota demonstrate how creative, collaborative, and adaptive thinking can ripple from the leader outward. If you can change your own mindset, you can change your organization. This holistic approach bridges the gap between traditional management and agile ways of working. If you can truly understand the reasons people resist new ways of working, you will no longer meet passive resistance, and an authentic transformation will result.
