Comparative Agility

The best leaders don’t grow by guessing. They grow by understanding how they lead under pressure, how they support teams, communicate, adapt, and where their blind spots actually are. The Leadership Growth Wheel self-assessment, developed by Anu Smalley and Kate Megaw, was designed to make leadership development more actionable, measurable, and honest, without turning it into another generic personality test. If you care about building stronger leaders and healthier teams, this is worth exploring. Learn more: bit.ly/4dBrJSl #LeadershipDevelopment #Leadership #TeamDevelopment #AgileLeadership

Great leadership is reflected in the growth of the people around us. #Leadership #TeamGrowth #CompanyCulture

Continuous improvement is one of Agile’s core principles — but how often is it actually measurable? We’re excited to partner with @AgileAlliance for an upcoming free webinar with @MoolyBeeri. Join us as Mooly shares a practical approach to turning improvement into something teams can track, validate, and continuously build on.

We just launched the Software Engineering Excellence assessment developed by @MoolyBeeri. Built on the Better Software Framework, the assessment helps organizations identify gaps in engineering practices across the full software development lifecycle — from development and testing to delivery and maintenance. The goal: better quality, faster delivery, fewer defects, and stronger engineering teams. Excited to bring this to organizations serious about continuous improvement.

We’re excited to share that our co-founder, Jorgen Hesselberg, will be speaking at Flowtopia Live 2026 this summer — a virtual summit bringing together flow and value stream practitioners from around the world. In his session, “Unlocking Organizational Flow: 7 Signs You’re on the Right Path,” Jorgen will explore why the biggest improvements in speed, focus, and delivery don’t come from pushing teams harder, but from reducing friction across the entire system of work. If you’re navigating transformation, scaling agility, or trying to improve delivery without burning people out, this is a session you won’t want to miss.

We talk a lot about “resistance to change”, but what if that’s not actually the problem? In our latest podcast episode, we spoke with Kelly Brogdon Geyer to challenge some of the biggest assumptions we make about change. We get into why “resistance” is often a symptom, not the problem, what change overload actually looks like inside organizations, and why most transformations struggle to stick, even when everything seems right on paper.

Explore your leadership across the capabilities that matter most. The Leadership Growth Wheel assessment, created by Team KatAnu (Kate Megaw and Anu Smalley), is designed to help leaders understand how they grow, influence others, and navigate complexity. Based on the Leadership Growth Wheel framework, it sees leadership as a continuous cycle of learning rather than a fixed set of skills. It focuses on interconnected capabilities that shape how you lead yourself, collaborate with others, and guide teams toward meaningful outcomes. By completing the self-assessment, you’ll gain a clearer picture of your current leadership patterns and where there are opportunities to grow further.
