Leader's EDGE
The Leader’s EDGE Cycle:
When we Experiment, we discover what works and what can be improved. That learning builds the best Designs.
A great Design then Guides our products, our people, and our customer journeys.
We Guide our teams with trust, alignment, and governance, helping our organization Evolve — growing the value we deliver.
As we Evolve, empathy and insight spark new rounds of Experimentation to delight our customers.
The cycle never ends.
💡 Thinking Like an Agilist vs. Being an Agilist
Why this matters:
Agile isn’t just a methodology — it’s a mindset, a practice, and for many of us, an identity. Understanding the distinction helps leaders and teams know where they stand — and where they can grow.
1. Thinking Like an Agilist
A mindset. A set of reflexes.
Iteration over perfection.
Feedback over silence.
Transparency over politeness.
Adaptability over rigid planning.
Leaders who think like Agilists may not know the jargon, but they intuitively act with agility. They spot blockers, they seek learning, they encourage course corrections.
2. Being an Agilist
A discipline. A craft.
Certifications, frameworks, and toolkits (Scrum, SAFe, Kanban, Lean, etc.).
Coaching, facilitation, and scaling agility across whole organizations.
Turning mindset into repeatable practice, rituals, and culture change.
Being an Agilist means practicing agility deliberately — and guiding others to do the same.
3. Why the Distinction Matters
Thinking is the spark.
Being is the sustained fire.
Anyone can think with agility. But true Agilists carry it forward — teaching, scaling, and embedding it in teams so it lasts beyond individuals.
