Agile Leadership: Preparing for an Unconventional Career Path | Emily Phillips | TEDxUWMilwaukee

[@petervanes5251]

What a Great speech from Emily. My key take away is “Getting out of your comfort zone”. I have to deal with a constantly changing environment. The agile approach learnt me how to react quickly. What Emily said in her speech: “You can’t plan too much ahead”. You never know what is coming, so be flexible and be able to change if needed. Agile is not only for managing IT projects. Emily showed us that it is a way of thinking.

1. Create a problem statement, 2. Build a hypotheses 3. Set out to prove the hypothesis 4. Architect a solution, 5. Reach out to tribe of resources Reflect how it went, refine, repeat

nice

[@phyllisansusinha-GlowingUp]

Excellent Ted Talk! Thank you Emily!

[@TheMakfather]

Ive been doing agile all my life without even knowing. I just started my carrier in PM and am working on my PMP certification after having multiple carriers in many different fields. Now i am connecting all the dots. And am so excited for tomorrow… this video just reassured my that am not alone on this journey!

[@Abimbolaoliyidetv]

This is very encouraging for someone afraid to try and start something new. Ask questions. State the problem statement. Leverage on those you know to learn from them. Take the plunge. You will be fine. Learn, relearn, unlearn.

[@Elle-rl8dy]

Great speech and topic. I feel your story and your advice has the potential to help a large group of people. Good on you @Emily Phillip to make this message reachable for everyone.

[@MrPainfulTruth]

18 min in i still havent figured out about the "agile leadership" part. Nice speech and life story, but i'd rather see a meaningful title.

[@natashapoly1958]

Very inspiring talk! Thank you, Emily, for sharing your story.

[@josegeorge6439]

Insightful

[@bunburychic9755]

I just started a PM job and I know exactly how that feels- not knowing what's going on.

Brilliance! Sx

[@mannyevalin8357]

Great Talk!

[@kellyrobinson2297]

I love my man Ralph Fritz

[@veronicaolivares9150]

Yes she is great!!

[@evelyncruz4506]

Great Ted Talk!

[@mohaawwkk]

It seems to me that many of these ”How to…” TED talks is really about someone listing all their big achievements in life. The actual advice is usually only one or a few sentences in the end, in this case ”get out of your comfort zone”. :)

[@thereareantsbehindyoureyes7529]

theyre all "look how important I am, and youll be important too, if you do (shows step found in every self help book)

[@ANUPDASTravel]

Hi Emily, You have a wonderful personality, Good talk appreciated ! ! Regards Anup Das.

[@lov.c5579]

Emily thank you so much

[@nandakishore2363]

Great Speech Emily , i am happy to know you personally :)

[@mallickm6949]

Great talk

[@phillipedwardness9591]

Who knew Ellen DeGeneres was so knowledgeable about Agile development and leadership!

[@DoPeMaN60]

great speech, but what does this have to do with agile? what does it have to do with project management?

[@mjrsilva]

iterative process, team work, getting out of your confort zone... if you think agile = project management you should iterate and get out of your confort zone...

[@adityaveshpandey8082]

super awesome, innovative and great insights. Keep up the good work, keep inspiring us !

[@brunnamoreira]

Super speach Emily

[@lijinghua]

Great speech! Really get inspired!

[@anitasinha5245]

it is excellent programme

[@itube5538]

Well, based on “agile leadership “ topic I was expecting something meaningful about it, but just listened the story of career movements, that’s too far from the topic, sorry!

[@SkillsForTeams]

Storytelling is just less magic if you know the Topic and the story is nothing new ...

[@poppiiiii]

agreed. that s just a success story of someone, i dont understand what it has to do with the video description title

[@KashifSMalik]

This was interesting. I don't usually comment on YT, but am curios to know what people think if the 'process' that Emily referred to become inadequate by itself. I mean, the process which brought you success over the years, over and over again, may itself become a bad fit. What if the process of gathering a tribe of resources and getting out of your comfort zone lands you in a zone where you're not comfortable and the tribe isn't around. Just thinking aloud, would love to hear creative counter arguments.

[@Armariodeviagens]

I guess the idea is that if you land in a zone like you described, then the best choice would to... go for another one. The quicker this change occurs, the better. And it seems to me that, if before the leap, you plan a little the next step, it would be easier to leap again, if that's the case. Does that make sense to you?

[@joannalukaszuk2260]

brilliant!

[@askaritrejo9991]

Wanderfull video

[@talkttalk2010]

Stop pacing. Stand still!

[@elllieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

Standing perfectly still is unnatural and uninviting and most importantly uninteresting to watch

[@talkttalk2010]

@@elllieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee didn’t say stand perfectly still . Watch some of the most charismatic speakers , they don’t pace around the WHOLE time they’re speaking.

[@veronicaolivares9150]

I like her

[@raydaveed]

Get a number 😆😂

[@tiffanyjenkins4323]

Wow....

[@veronicaolivares9150]

Great Job, you remind me of me :)

[@quipitisi]

I really liked her ability to communicate, very confident and dynamic, but, IMHO this talk is quite egocentric. It's all about how smart, cheeky and fast she was to be become a 'successful' professional, meaning having a paycheck with commas. Leadership, agility... I was expecting insights, experiences that helped her to make a business and the people you lead successful, efficient etc. But it's all about me, myself and I.

[@yvonnehyatt8353]

This is true tell, the third grade.

[@robbiesmith45]

Very nice so far but you NEVER set out to prove or disprove the hypothesis. This creates bias. You only ever set out to learn. Then you run tests until you exhaust the possibilities.

[@jorgelz4]

not popular opinion, but... I fell like this speech is just throwing a bunch of "positive thinking" jargon. "trust the process", "get out of your comfort zone"...

[@thereareantsbehindyoureyes7529]

glad you figured out what ted talks are for, just to make people feel smart.

[@Rekettyelovag]

It was a nice talk and all but ... I don't think my dev team or anybody I know would like if I'd refer them as a tribe of resources. It's like called your customers whales. So dehumanizing...

[@alablakelock78]

Great talk Ellen...oops Emily

[@caroldelgado2756]

The thundering nigeria historically peck because slime conversly rub around a festive delivery. defeated, humdrum professor

[@ValentinBoyanov]

I do not believe this woman ever lead any company, sweating about matters related to run a business and taking care that everybody is enough business and money coming to the coffer. such people like to spend much time in the coffee corner, talking about various private matters with colleagues. this agile is a big nothing...

[@sacharobinson1219]

Wow, Val, did you figure out all that just by watching her on Ted talk or it's your your personal belief?

[@raydaveed]

I sense bitterness with a touch of sexism. You might want to double check what's in your coffee. 'Cause it screams toxicity accross the board.
