3 Key Capabilities for Agile Leaders | Business Agility Series

Clarity of purpose, control without controlling, and designing for flow – these are three capabilities that are essential for Agile leaders to possess, according to Agile trainer and coach, Phil Abernathy. "Empowered teams are more dangerous if there is no clarity…[and are] nothing more than powerful horses pulling in different directions," says Abernathy. The difference between good companies and great companies is discipline – they are not chaotic. Complex structures will always result in complex processes and inefficient controls because leaders believe in the biggest lie – that multitasking is efficient and effective. The idea is to work on one or two things at the same time, maximum. Accenture | SolutionsIQ's Henrik Gruber hosts at the Business Agility Conference in Vienna, Austria.
