In serving as an Agile Coach, Ann-Marie saw organizational
agility is constrained by leadership agility. Agile coaches enable teams to improve their practices and empower leaders to evolve things in the system that impedes attaining business outcomes; and while improving team practices and
the system are valuable, little had been done to empower leaders to develop.
“No problem can be solved with the same level of consciousness that created it” ~ Albert Einstein
