If you are passionate about transforming good teams into great teams, then you are in the right place!
But what is the essence of successful teams?
I call it Art! Not just agile, project or product management, leadership, or management... but art! (Although all of these things will help you on your journey to success.)
The art lies in providing the team with space, resources, freedom, and feedback so that they can be innovative and creative while working towards creating a valuable product. It is about having a clear vision while continuously improving their way of working, themselves, quality, communication, collaboration, and team spirit.
Getting there is not easy, but with the right approaches, knowledge, mindset, and guidance, everything is possible!
After 10 years of juggling with different frameworks, methodologies, and knowledge areas, I adopted an approach where people are at the center. I call that approach 'SILAN' ('Powerful' in Serbian language):
Simple - Strive to simplify where possible and use solutions because they give good outcomes, not just because they are trendy.
Intelligent - Use your mind, talents, and energy on things that are valuable and don't waste them on things which are not in alignment with your personal principles.
Lazy - Be involved when and where it is really needed, and automate whenever possible (and/or makes sense).
Agile - Be adaptive but plan. Be fast but ask (for feedback)!
Nurture - Protect, care and provide opportunities for people to share their thoughts and concerns in a safe and supportive environment.
