“Being agile is all about holding the tension between creating a clear overarching vision, while implementing a strategy that allows for flexibility. Any leadership team needs to have a clear strategic narrative to align people to – this needs to come first; you’re never going to achieve engagement without it. This alignment to the strategy must exist to lead effectively in an agile environment.”
