In this podcast recorded at the Agile 2018 conference Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Anna Obukhova about the neuroscience and biology of leadership and what it takes to coach and work with tired teams.
Why listen to this podcast:
• When we change a process we also impact and cause change to the body and brain of the people involved in the process
• Behavioural ethology shows how the perception of being in a “caged environment” impacts hormone production and results in changed attitudes and approaches
• Energy levels vary from person to person and over time; maintaining high energy is crucial to leading and adapting to change
• Tired teams need different styles of coaching and support, using the same techniques as with energised teams can result in harm
• Different agile approaches and frameworks are applicable with companies and teams who have different energy levels, trying to apply a high energy framework in low energy environment will fail and cause stress
