Olaf Lewitz is going to share with you some insights about the journey from an introvert engineer to an Agile Leader! According to him, everyone who is involved in software development can become an Agile Leader. Olaf thinks that all engineers like structure, processes, predictability, and simple design. Most of today’s managers in software organisations have an engineering background. They have taken responsibility in organisations that were designed for stability and success in stable markets. Now, the conditions change. Organisations change. Business agility and leadership agility are called for. How do we make that change? Olaf Lewitz is a speaker on the Epic stage at the 3rd Agile Serbia Conference. In his speech he will share his personal learnings and insights, his successes and failures. He will share patterns and strategies that worked for him, and tools that may help all of us deliver leadership as an Agile service.

25. how does this work?
• the questions guide you to what’s interesting
• the white canvas asks for multiple perspectives
• motivational forces pull us forward and hold us back
• separate what we want from what we think others expect
• when sharing we learn how we are all similar and different
