Hi, I’m Andy. Your Agile Coach! This is my podcast, Agile Rocket. I will talk to you, in a casual tone, about what Agile is and how to apply Agile thinking to your daily life and work. The podcast aims to advocate various agile best practices in a more comprehensible manner. Everyone could get something from each episode, no matter which domain you’d like to apply to. Besides that, for those who’d like to change working culture of environments, I would introduce many contemporary software engineering practices. Maybe you could get inspired from within them, knowing how to extend unknown concepts to your professional fields. I really expect to see there are more practices derived from Agile methodologies. If you acknowledge the spirit of Agile, subscribe to my podcast, thumbs up, and grow with me.

Lead with Context, Not Control

Lead with Context, Not Control Ever seen a team freeze up the moment the boss walks into the room? It’s like all creativity shuts down, and suddenly everyone’s just waiting for instructions. That’s what happens when we lead through control. But what if your team could perform even better when you're not in the room—because they understand exactly what matters, and why? In this episode, we are flipping the script on leadership. We’ll explore why leading with context, not control, is the key to building high-performing, self-organizing teams. And I’ve got a real-life story from a fast-food kitchen (yes, really!) that perfectly shows how defining a clear why can spark better decisions than a hundred rules ever could. By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away with four practical strategies to lead more effectively: ⭐ Define your team’s Wildly Important Goal ⭐ Build deep user empathy ⭐ Ignite intrinsic motivation ⭐ Understand the market context your team is navigating If you're a manager, a Scrum Master, or anyone guiding a team — this one’s for you. Let’s stop managing like it’s 1995 and start leading in a way that empowers people to think, create, and thrive.
