Coaching zwinnych zespołów. Kompendium wiedzy dla ScrumMasterów, Agile Coachów i kierowników projektu w okresie transformacji

Lyssa Adkins

Na czym polega coaching według zasad Agile? Na ciągłym poprawianiu wpływu swoich działań coachingowych, aby inni mogli stawać się świetni. Dzięki temu zespoły mogą tworzyć wspaniałe produkty, a firmy czerpią korzyści z funkcjonowania samodzielnych i odpowiedzialnych zespołów. Być może w efekcie w świecie pełnym możliwości zapanuje kultura innowacyjności i ciągłego doskonalenia się. Właśnie ten imperatyw „ciągłego doskonalenia się” oznacza otwieranie się na coraz to nowsze koncepcje coachingowe i wprowadzanie ich do swojej codziennej pracy z zespołami i pojedynczymi ludźmi. Aby to osiągnąć, każdy coach potrzebuje zmierzyć się z nowymi pomysłami, nawet jeśli część z nich miałaby wymiar prowokacyjny, a tylko niektóre praktyczny. Ta książka jest czymś w rodzaju wyprawy, podczas której poznasz sposoby na osiągnięcie doskonałości w roli Agile Coacha. Zainspiruje Cię do obserwowania swojego zespołu i poszczególnych osób oraz wyciągania wniosków z tych obserwacji, a także przepracowania własnych uprzedzeń i emocji. Dowiesz się, kiedy podejmować decyzje o przekuciu tych obserwacji i refleksji w działania, aby możliwie najlepiej przysłużyć się poprawie obecnego stanu. Nie znajdziesz tu jedynego słusznego przepisu, ale pomoc w odkryciu własnej, niepowtarzalnej ścieżki coacha. Opisane tu koncepcje ułatwią zmianę perspektywy i odkrywanie skutecznych technik, które pomogą w motywowaniu zespołu do uzyskiwania wyższej efektywności.
