Mini Manual of Agile Work for Coaches & Trainers

New pathways to agile working

Agility is not a certificate that you hang on the wall or a programme which you operate. Agility can certainly be described, but it only becomes effective when it is experienced, when your trainees and seminar participants change from being participants to being co-creators - and when you yourself exemplify agile thinking and behaviour. It is more helpful to speak of an agile attitude - or an agile mindset. Agile thinking and behaving does not mean breaking away from successful strategies. It does not mean that anything ‘non-agile’ is bad or that absolutely everything has to be agile. By presenting alternative perspectives and practical proposals for action, Horst Lempart encourages people to think outside the box, to think sideways, to think in other directions and to think differently, and, at the same time, helps his readers to develop a personal agile mindset. The aim is to strengthen process competence in individual and group formats and to constantly align what you are offering with the needs of your clients. Meanwhile, of course, the coaches’ own needs should not be forgotten. Because agile also means: remaining mindful of yourself.

• Critical look at ‘agile’ as a buzzword
