Create A Movement With Your Voice

It’s not just an ideal time to create a movement, it’s essential now. Agile isn’t going to rebound to its original shape. Corporate work isn’t going to get less stressful. Jobs aren’t going to become more abundant. And AI isn’t going to save you from anything. It’s not that things are crumbling. They’re shifting. And if you build the courage and skill, you can create a movement that will let you capitalize. A movement, like this podcast itself, starts when you can see something isn’t working. When a better way is obvious to everyone, except the people who sign your checks, and their unquestioning followers. Why You Should Create A Movement I get that this might be for everyone. Sometimes we just want to show up, punch in and collect our cheque. I wouldn’t judge anyone for not wanting to shout into the darkness. To be the first to say what we THINK everyone else is thinking. But then, that’s what leadership is about. You don’t have to be special, or even more ready than anyone else to create a movement. What I want you to know is that this is available to everyone. And from personal experience, I can tell you it feels good. It feels good when you start something that others have been waiting and hoping for. It feels good when your work causes others to rise, and build momentum. Change is often forced upon us. But there are times when we are inspired by a tiny current rather than a spectacular crash. A small group of inspired, dedicated individuals who believe there MUST be a better way. That’s how Agile itself started. Rooted in service, they decided to stop doing what wasn’t working and create a movement of their own. Not for everyone, but for US. And 25 years later, we are not only due, but I’d argue that currents more powerful than software development alone demand that we rise.
