AGILE IN ACTION

For several weeks, due to a lack of desk space, it was not possible to sit with the team in the same workspace. The only way to detect stuff on my radar was to get up and physically walk across the office to the team's bullpen and try to glean from their body language, facial expressions and conversations what was going on. It's easy to miss out on the opportunity to contribute, guide or support situations that could empower the team. So once space became available last week I was glad to move across and join the team. The experience got me thinking about the power of observation and about raising ones awareness and using it to empower the team in a constructive and insightful way.
