Talk delivered by Antoinette Coetzee at Global Scrum Gathering Vienna - Oct 2019
Abstract:
2015 was my Annus horribilis - my most horrible year. It was the year I wondered whether I had turned into an awful person, or whether I have just always been one. It was also the start of the biggest personal growth spurt in my life to date. And agile was slapbang in the middle of all this - it forced me to confront my own values, behaviour and courage. If you are keen to find out how agile shines the spotlight on our personal dysfunctions and how that can benefit us both personally and as leaders, come join me and take a look in my magic mirror. Don’t be scared, you may just realise you have so much more in your toolbox than you thought! And it will be worth looking… this I promise.

logicWHAT I DID
@AntoinetteCoet #PersonalLeadershipJourney #SGVIE
I stayed with me. In my shadow. And I looked at my inner
witch. For more than a year. I did not fix my discomfort by
rationalising or blaming, and I worked with my triggers.
I helped people find more stable jobs that suited them
better and paid a guaranteed salary.
And I kept on inspecting and adapting with the ones that
were comfortable in a “consulting” setup.

HOW HAVE I CHANGED?
• Allow the bigger scheme of things to dominate the
here and now
• Softened and grown more patient
• Authentically look for what’s good and working first
• Embraced “I don’t know” – who knows what is right or
wrong anyway!
• Acquired new language
• More tolerance for displeasing people
15. @AntoinetteCoet #PersonalLeadershipJourney #SGVIE
• Take the feedback on the chin
• Stay in the discomfort – face it!
• Cultivate unconditional inner
friendliness
• Work your triggers with curiosity
• Ask for help – for you, for your
team
• Be brave. Be brave. Be brave.
• Grow your empathy for
everyone, including yourself
• Educate yourself about growth

Our capacity to respond to situations becomes larger as we develop ourselves.
Let’s start by looking at how our development as human beings and leaders influence the extent to which we make sense of the world around us and respond to it. The model we would like to share with you comes from William Torbert and Suzanne Cook-Greuters and describes the centre of logic we utilise when we decide on an action. We do not have the time to go through each of the individual action logics but would like to look at the impact of the larger classification - i.e. Traditionalist, Modernist and Postmodernist - on our our capacity to make sense with others.
Life through the Traditionalist lens is black or white, right or wrong. It varies from My Truth, to Our Truth, to The Truth, as proven by science. The Modernist lens is…… The Postmodernist lens is….
So let’s see how that would look
