Where to start?
You can start now
Small steps, small victories
Make your own way
Forget about “how agile you are”
Concentrate on actions
The challenge
You control only yourself
And that’s hard by itself
People don’t like change
And you may find some friends
What not to do!
Tell everyone you’re going agileIf you think nobody listened before
Proclaim you’re better than the other peonsOf course you are
Go whole hog
Before you start
Identify the coalition
If possible, find a running mate
Identify the oppositionNeed to handle them with care and affectionWhat matters to them? Help them achieve it
