Embracing agility also calls for changing how organizations measure and recognize teams and leaders. That means establishing incentives and rewards for teams, not just individuals. And it means measuring the success of leaders based on how they help others grow. Indeed, embracing agility is about creating a more equal ecosystem. Rather than an organization built around departments or groups or functions that become silos, agile requires every stakeholder to contribute value to the whole organization. It calls for each individual to see that value and their purpose beyond any one function or department. When done well, the people in an agile organization see their work in a team as meaningful, and their organization’s work as making a positive difference for its customers, and, ideally, the world.
