the implication of saying SAFe's not Agile is that large orgs have to start with Agile. They don't. The essence of Agile is improving from where you are now. For many organizations SAFe is an improvement from where they are. The limitation is if you think SAFe's an endpoint.

I love CTI's definition of leadership: “taking responsibility for the world around us”. But, what if the nature of the "responsibility" we are able to "take" is insufficient for dealing with the complexity of the "world around us"? #sensemaking #agileleadership

I’m less concerned with the #potus’s #IQ than with his inability to see from multiple perspectives (beyond his egocentric view).
