Zvonimir Durcevic: From Command to Collaboration, An Agile Leadership Team's Transformation Story Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. In this episode, Zvonimir discusses his experience supporting a leadership team transitioning from a traditional command-and-control management style to a more collaborative approach involving people in change decisions. Drawing from EDGE Theory of Change (based on Arnold Mendel's work) and Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching (ORSC) training, Zvone helped the leadership team understand what awaited them on the "other side" of this transformation. Through multiple half-day coaching sessions, he guided them in defining their new leadership identity and developing self-reflection skills. A critical element of this work was creating a conflict protocol that allowed leaders to discuss different perspectives constructively. Zvone emphasizes the importance of helping teams create a "third identity" – a new collective self that emerges through transformation. Self-reflection Question: What elements of your current leadership identity would you need to let go of to embrace a more collaborative approach to change? [Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

This episode is a re-release of a 2019 conversation our host, Leslie Morse, had with Billie Schuttpelz about imposter syndrome and authenticity. This was the 11th episode of our series and it's fascinating how important many of these topics still are.   As you listen, we hope these words of wisdom from Billie stick out to you as much as they did for us. “What if instead of finding my purpose, I find myself... It leads me to fulfilling my purpose?” “People are the most innovative when they're operating in their authentic voice... We shouldn't focus so much on innovation. We should focus on getting our people to their authentic selves, and the innovation will come out naturally.” About the Featured Guest Billie Schuttpelz is an Agile coach at Accenture who is known for her work on conquering Imposter Syndrome, something she has struggled with. A stage actor and advocate for therapy and visualization, Schuttpelz invented an alternate reality called “Oops Land” where people have the safety and permission to fail and also to be their authentic selves. This is in stark contrast to where she often feels she lives: in Perfect Island. Schuttpelz's personal development journey has helped her take back power over her own life, which has sometimes felt lacking purpose. She shares stories of her Imposter Syndrome workshops, as well as her process going through the Shine program fromTenWomenStrong, and the Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching (ORSC) program.

NZ 2005 To find out more about - https://charliehodgsonperformance.com/ Charlie Hodgson is the founder and CEO of Charlie Hodgson Performance. His philosophy is based on 17 years at the top of professional rugby. From the organisational highs at Sale Sharks and Saracens, to the individual lows of international rugby, it is these unique experiences that have shaped his coaching approach and how they can be transferred to the business world. Throughout his rugby career, he had many ups and downs and admits that managing his emotions through those sticky periods was incredibly hard. Whether it was dealing with difficult colleagues, making decisions under pressure or a missed kick at goal when the result was in his hands, the daily struggle was real, and at times, hugely debilitating. And, it is no different to what you undoubtedly experience every day; Workplace politics, leading your team to deliver results, make hugely important decisions under extreme pressure or simply finding time for yourself and your family…that pressure to consistently perform can be just as lonely and clinical. He understands how hard that is for you and the subsequent stress that emerges. He has felt it, but most importantly, he can help you. He truly cares what you are going through, and is here to help you thrive. Following retirement from elite sport, he has gained the Institute of Leadership and Management Level 7 Qualification in Executive Coaching and Mentoring. He has completed a training series in Organisation and Relationship Systems Coaching (ORSC) and is now an officially licensed Mind5 Optimal Performance Leader.

Favorite quotes of the episode: “Feedback is hard because feedback is about learning and growth and learning and growth are uncomfortable. Always.” “Learning that discomfort is not a barrier to being effective, is powerful.” “The purpose of feedback is to help people get more effective at meeting their own goals.” “Try it, do it badly, and you will get better.” Episode Overview I kicked off 2019 with a promise to discuss big issues, big ideas and provide real-world actionable solutions that we can all implement in our daily lives as busy professionals. In this episode, I talk with Kate Arms, on how to give and receive feedback. She has been creating cultures where people thrive since 1984 when she first realized she could turn the lonely outlier kids in her middle school into a group of friends. She has learned through experience that every person has the power to improve the culture of a group with or without formal authority. Her superpower is facilitating open, challenging, and respectful conversations on controversial topics on Facebook. She has negotiation and mediation training from Harvard Law School. Her coach training includes coaching certification from The Co-Active Training Institute (CTI), Organizational and Relationship Systems Coaching (ORSC) training from CRR Global, and certification in Creativity Coaching from the Creativity Coaching Association. She is a certified InterPlay Leader and a graduate of CTI’s Co-Active Leadership Program. TOPICS Kate’s career path Setting the stage, overview, how to prepare for feedback Preparing to receive feedback, building trust How to Give Feedback / How to Receive Feedback (steps, tactics, framework) From the book, Crucial Accountability: STAR Method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) Framework for looking at where failure happens: (Individual, Group/System, Tools) Does the individual have the skills to do the job? Does the individual have the right motivation? Does the group have the skillset? Does the group have the right motivation? (or incentive structures?) Does the individual have the right tools? Are the Tools impacting the motivation?  Common Fails, pitfalls to avoid 5 Questions Segment Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? I text my friend each morning a daily message to help keep us on task and being the people we want to be that day. Q2. What's your definition of Success? A sufficient quantity of good feelings, a sense of accomplishment, a sense that my work and I matter, a sense that I am leading my life rather than being a victim of circumstances, and good relationships. ~ from Martin Seligman’s work. Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? Enough ease with discomfort to pursue my goals, savoring success so that I truly enjoy it and enough courage to let go and begin again. Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? I’m not dependent upon anyone else for my happiness and that I can create relationships that make me happy, I don’t have to wait for other people to do it. If I want great power, I have to take great responsibility, but only for things that are within my power.

Billie Schuttpelz is an Agile coach at Accenture | SolutionsIQ who is known for her work on conquering Imposter Syndrome, something she has struggled with. A stage actor and advocate for therapy and visualization, Schuttpelz invented an alternate reality called “Oops Land” where people have the safety and permission to fail and also to be their authentic selves. This is in stark contrast where she often she feels she lives: in Perfect Island.  Schuttpelz personal development journey has helped her take back power over her own life, which has sometimes felt lacking purpose. She shares stories of her Imposter Syndrome workshops, as well as her process going through the Shine program fromTenWomenStrong, and the Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching (ORSC) program. Billie’s Words of Wisdom: “What if instead of finding my purpose, I find myself... It leads me to fulfilling my purpose?” “People are the most innovative when they’re operating in their authentic voice... We shouldn’t focus so much on innovation. We should focus on getting our people to their authentic selves, and the innovation will come out naturally.” Accenture | SolutionsIQ’s Leslie Morse hosts. The Women in Agile community champions inclusion and diversity of thought, regardless of gender, and this podcast is a platform to share new voices and stories with the Agile community and the business world, because we believe that everyone is better off when more, diverse ideas are shared.Podcast Library: www.solutionsiq.com/womeninagile Women in Agile website: https://womeninagile.org/Connect with us on social media!

Situation Global virtual team, members on four continents, all passionate about the team’s purpose. Most members have never met in the flesh. Team meets monthly by phone or Skype audio, in the evening for Europe and Africa – straddling the date line, members in East are already on the next day, while those in the Americas are still in their morning. Problem Everybody on the team is passionate but the progress is strangely slow. Members find each meeting inspiring, yet come back a month later with little action to report. The Coach Lori Shook, expert on Organisation and Relationship Systems Coaching (ORSC) “parachuting in” – never met the team, had about ten minutes briefing from the team leader (Mish). Team likewise simply invited to “try working with a relationship systems coach, she is an expert and you can see what it is like.” What happened The team met at its usual time, confirmed their willingness for session to be recorded, and the coach had 40 minutes to work with them. I invite you to listen to the podcast of what happened, and form your own conclusions. Some things to look out for: How the coach gets into meaningful conversation with a team she had never met prior to the beginning of this call. The impact of the voice-only medium on the atmosphere of the team and the session. How the coach uses methods like Asking for each member’s high dreams and low dreams for the team Sharing members’ assessments of how the team is doing Exploring the team learning edges around change Getting team members to explore their roles on the team, what works and what doesn’t work Encouraging shared design of how members want the team to be. Feedback from the team Two weeks later, at its regular monthly meeting, the team had this to say about the experience: We got different perspectives on our performance – saw some of our successes Recognised that amongst us there are different skill sets and visions – mostly complementary Felt a new level of care for each other – spending a session on us and not just work outcomes made a big difference We want to celebrate more – what we have done with the online information sharing wiki and these calls We see our own risk aversion, an unintended consequence of our passion for accountability. Feedback from the coach For the coach, the key was to listen for the learning edge of the group while engaging them in meaningful conversation about their goals and their relationship. For her, the learning edge was reached – and energetically felt - at the point where the team were asked to rate themselves. Digging deeper about an edgy tone she heard around the ratings, led to uncovering a deep organisational truth: “We don’t want to take on big risky commitments and this holds us back.” The coach then facilitated the group tracking the source of this back to their positive commitment to accountability “we are scared to take things on because we know we will be held accountable if we fail.” Conclusion An interesting case of the unintended consequences of a positive commitment to accountability – and one for the team and their organisation to take to heart in follow up sessions.
