Some people believe, #leadership is something that comes later on an #agile #journey. They start with teams first. But this is fundamentally wrong. Leadership should always come first. And, more important, this is not at all limited to you line management!
Because: #leadership is a capability of your organization. Yes, you can measure leadership on and around every single team. You will see or miss it across your teams of line managers.
When your organization is capable of thriving in #uncertainty, there will be leadership at play. And when your organization consciously approaches its culture, it will only work through leadership of the system.
Even if you start a little initiative with whatever #Agile method on your team, department or beyond, then leadership will be the one differentiator regarding success or failure.
This is not just an opinion, but rooted in endless examples, experiences, research about great products, change and organizational development. It is something, we want to make available to as many as possible. That‘s our primary goal for 2022!
Because Agile and agility is not primarily about processes and tools, but about people, the quality of their relationships, their capacity to deal with the unknow opportunities as a whole system (and not just as a compilation of individuals)!

I know, it is kind of "dangerous" to tap the SAFe framework :) Not, that many people would care anymore. Or a lot of customers would care. But SAFe is primarily a training business - and usually criticizing SAFe results in being bashed by SAFe trainers.
To be honest, I also don't care about SAFe anymore. 7 years ago, after looking in any of its details, it was clear to me, this is not a skillful way. Having looked into it in 2021, my point of view was strongly confirmed.
A major problem with SAFe though is, how critique is assumed to be "bashing". Why? Not at all because SAFe is so great. But because it triggers emotions of trainers and consultants, who make a great living of something, that I interpret as uneducated intervention.

I like the #ScrumGuide. And to be honest - I do not 100% agree with everything, that's written in it. And - most important - I do not care, if people follow it. Now that's weird for a person, who delivers official trainings via Scrum Alliance you might think?! Well, let's talk.
First of all, the Scrum Guide is not the bible. Its authors have been editing it many times since its first publication. And they needed to make a lot of tradeoff decisions via the community. Not every Scrum professional always loves the current version of the guide.
That said, the Scrum Guide still is the opinion, the expression of experience of its 2 authors. But way more to that: Scrum is about developing an emergent process. The moment a team starts thinking about it, there will be its very local and individual instantiation.

Like many others, I have been observing the #ScrumMaster market over the past 12-13 years. That said, the qualification possibilities have grown dramatically. The general skill of a Scrum Master too. But there is something wrong.
Average day #rates for Scrum Masters rather went down, instead of up. Large companies claim, they can get a great Scrum Master at EUR 500,- to 600,- (Western European ranges). And they miss one point: such a person would be plain stupid joining them!
Let's be frank. The first Scrum Master in the world was an experienced manager. The idea for this role was never a simple one. Bad implementations made it simple (like becoming a team secretary). But to me a Scrum Master is a skilled #organizational #developer.
