In keeping with my thoughts on transformation; I wrote a haiku on good leadership that is needed in Agile transformations.
Farmers cultivate
Burros make furrows in minds
More emerge to join
Can you see what leadership is happening in the above? How has leadership been happening in your organization?
One of the Agile Retroflections of the Day I submitted is this one, “What haiku can you write that reflects on your transformation efforts thus far?”
I’m a huge fan of haiku; it uses powerful imagery to convey messages. This was the one I came up with for my customer’s transformation thus far:
Strong burro works hard
Bureaucratic harnesses
But it’s pull, not push
I was inspired to use a burro as they are real workhorses ummm… really burros and because I know a fellow Agilista, Lisa Crispin, raises them.
But upon additional thought, I’d rewrite the haiku slightly to become:
Burro of strong heart
Bureaucratic harnesses
But it’s pull, not push
#customer #agile #transformation #haiku
What would your haiku be?
