  • Understand the INTER-personal aspects of emotional intelligence

Introduce steps leaders can take and practices they can adopt that will help them navigate, maintain congruence and reconcile concerns across systems

Agile People HR Certification (ICP-AHR)

  • Facilitate the participant’s reflection and analysis of the impact organizational design has on organizational agility and present examples of alternative approaches.
  • Introduce the participant to approaches for designing effective cross-functional teams along with the necessary structures around the teams to align their work to the value stream. This can contain elements that are pre-planned and it should also allow for emergent design in response to the dynamic, evolving situation around the team(s).
  • Introduce strategies for aligning teams around value streams that can maximize flow, minimize dependencies and provide end-to-end delivery.
  • Identify the many skill gaps that can occur and explain the intentional focus on growth that is necessary to address these gaps. Discuss ways to enable the growth of individuals with T-Shaped skills.
  • Identify what it means to have a growth vs. fixed mindset and how a growth mindset helps create an environment that fosters continuous improvement and makes it safe to fail for the sake of learning.
  • Introduce interview methods that can reduce false positives and better evaluate for skills, potential and fit.
