When blame and fear dominate, prioritising profits over people can destroy teams, and sometimes entire organisations.

The Agile Industrial Complex prioritises models over people, true agility starts by listening to teams.

Organisations fail at agile when people are commoditised and ignored.

 Emotional agility and intelligence are essential skills beyond agile methodology, key to leadership and team success.

 Team charters align remote teams, foster clarity, and reduce conflict.

 Effective kick-offs rely on relationships, human-centric leadership, and clear direction.

Trust and communication are the foundation for any successful project or program kick-off.

Neglecting key kick-off activities, including schedules, can derail teams before work begins.
