The Leadership Agility 360, developed in partnership with ChangeWise and Cambria Consulting, is the first extensively researched online feedback tool to assess a manager’s level of leadership agility.

Based on the award-winning book, Leadership Agility, by ChangeWise principals Bill Joiner and Steven Josephs, the Leadership Agility 360 evaluates a manager’s level of agility in leading organizational change, improving team performance, and engaging in productive business conversations.

Pete is running a new seminar series on Scrum exploring often challenging aspects of applying Scrum. Meetings are typically cited as one of the most wasteful activities in a business day - yet Scrum demands more meetings more frequently.

Teams are finding themselves micro-managed with little time left to get "real" work done.

This session provides ScrumMasters four key techniques for leading focused, timeboxed, effective and highly-participatory Scrum meetings which drive a collaborative and a self-organizing culture.
