There may be no “I” in Team, but there’s a big ol’ fat “I” right in the middle of Agile, and Lord knows I’m constantly a work-in-progress when it comes to flexibility.
And what’s always made me chuckle is that when I really look back at my career, heck, even my life, I can clearly recognize that old adage: “Change is the only constant.”
It’s both the blessing and curse that comes with being a life-long learner.
What I didn’t know - and trust me, there are plenty of things that fit in that category - is that agile thinking and life-long learning are areas of study that have kept some of the best scholarly minds at work.
Thankfully, I was able to have one of them on the program with me today.
Dr. Kaliym Islam has served this country in the Air Force, served his commnuity as a public school teacher, served his clients as a facilitator and instructor specialzing in the Agile Method of leadership, and now, he is serving students yet again as an adjunct professor at both Southern Illinios State University and Aroura Univeristy.
If that wasn’t enough, he is also the founder of The TrainingPro Academy which provides a myriad of resources for learning coaches and leaders at every level.
Oh, and he’s the author of multiple books, including “The 12 Inch Rule of Leadership,” as well multiple academic journal articles.
His optimism and positivity are contagious, and I couldn’t be happier with how the episode (even after some technical difficulties and a re-record on my end) turned out.
Enjoy the show!
