Aligile: The Soul of Work
Is Your Agile Practice Missing Its Soul?
In a world dominated by Agile, why are so many teams still disengaged? Why do stand-ups feel like hollow rituals, retrospectives like blame games, and sprints like soul-crushing races to nowhere? The truth is, we adopted the practices of Agile but lost its heart along the way.
"Aligile: The Soul of Work" is a profound and timely diagnosis of this quiet crisis. It argues that the failure of modern Agile is not a failure of process, but a failure of philosophy. We have the prescription, but we've lost the foundational beliefs that give it meaning.
This book introduces Aligile, not as a replacement for Agile, but as its essential soul and logical foundation. By fusing the timeless principles of wisdom, justice, servant leadership, and integrity with the practical realities of modern work, Aligile provides the "why" that will supercharge your team's "what."
Inside, you will discover:
The Root Cause: A critical analysis of why "cargo cult" Agile fails and how to spot the symptoms in your own team.
The Manifesto: A step-by-step journey from humble inquiry to meaningful action that provides a new lens through which to see your work.
The Twelve Principles: A deep dive into the foundational pillars of Aligile, including Justice as a System, Wisdom Before Prescription, and Humility Over Arrogance.
Practical Application: Plain-English explanations and real-world examples that show you how to move from theory to impactful practice.
A New Leadership Model: Learn how to transform from a manager of tasks into a servant leader who cultivates growth, trust, and purpose.
"Aligile: The Soul of Work" is for every leader, manager, Scrum Master, and team member who knows there must be a better way. It is a courageous call to stop just doing Agile and to start building a workplace that is not only more productive, but profoundly more just and human.
