Such a responsibility cannot be delegated.”

51. Ability to innovate
Learning Agile leaders are extroverted, take charge and
challenge the status quo, but may have been described
as “difficult to manage”.
Innovating requires new experiences, which provide
perspectives and a bigger knowledge base.
Learning Agile Individuals generate new ideas through
their ability to view issues from multiple angles
51
52. Outperform
through challenges
Inorder to learn from such challenges, the individual must
remain present and engaged, handle the stress brought
on by ambiguity, and adapt quickly in order to perform
Performing at this scale requires skill at observation and
processing of data, as well as the ability to acquire new
skills to tackle the situation revealed through the data
52
53. Reflect on experience and
get feedback
A major aspect of being learning agile is to continually
seek feedback and process it.
A leader who seeks feedback and takes it in will have
more insight into their own shortcomings and blind spots.
53
54. Take good risks
Learning agile leaders are pioneering risk takers
They are resilient and are calm in the eye of a storm of
stress
They venture into unknown territory and put themselves
out there to try new things
They stretch themselves outside their comfort zones in a
continuous cycle of learning and confidence building that
ultimately leads to success.

55. Scaled Agile Framework
Lean Agile Leaders are life long learners who are
responsible for the successful adoption of SAFe and the
result it delivers
The philosophy of SAFe is simple; as the advocates for
the teams, the Digital Enterprise managers, leaders, and
executives have the ultimate responsibility for the
adoption, success, and ongoing improvement of Lean -
Agile development.

and improvements. Allow people to solve their own
problems.

causes, and build solutions that will be embraced by the
organization.
57
58. Develop People
Employ a Lean leadership style that focuses on
developing skills and career paths for team members
rather than on being a technical expert or coordinator of
tasks.

to solve problems together in a way that develops
individual capabilities and increases engagements and
commitment.

requirements. Eliminate demotivating policies and

strategic decisions - those that are infrequent, long
lasting and have significant economies of scale.
60
62. Reflecting on
SAFe Principles
Take an economic view
Apply systems thinking
Assume variability; preserve options
Build incrementally with fast, integrated learning cycles

planning
Unlock intrinsic motivation of knowledge workers
Decentralize decision making
