Ep. 1 | Facilitation & Leadership in Agile (feat. Joe Ziadeh)

When it comes to working on a team of any size, the concept of being a leader is important to understand. In Agile, whether you’re a scrum master, facilitator, teacher or coach, being a leader means more than just managing a team and “doing the work”. Agile leadership is about growth and efficient productivity through personal channels such as self-awareness, humility, active listening, self-organization, flexibility and trust. A leader’s job is to not just solve the problem but to create a fun and open team of confident individuals who are happy to solve those problems alongside you. In today’s podcast, we’re meeting with Agile leader, Joe Ziadeh, and hearing his thoughts on Agile facilitation and true Agile leadership.
With over 25 years of successful Agile experience, Joe Ziadeh definitely lives up to his last name, which roughly translates to "awesome" from its Arabic roots. Starting as a software developer who happened to stumble into Agile during his college years, Joe would go on to work as a coach, teacher and consultant, helping transition startups, healthcare companies and banking companies into the Agile mindset. We're proud to introduce Joe Ziadeh.
