Decoding Leadership30. Elaine May on making change and the dangers of SCRUMElaine May joined Decoding Leadership for a conversation on how to effectively make change as a leader.

She taught me about a concept she calls change budgets. And shared how to deal with critics and naysayers. And then we talked about SCRUM and some of the downsides in the way it's practiced.
