Caramelising bad apples

'One bad apple soils the barrel' is a very true saying even in an Agile environment. Not identifying and managing poor behavior and performance can completely undermine any Agile transformation effort.

How can Leaders, both within and external to Agile teams, set higher standards of accountability and hold people to it? Is self organization, peer pressure and the wisdom of the crowd enough to handle the wiles of organisational psychopaths?

The fact remains that most teams will have a few difficult personalities and underperforming members.

Agile is seen in many senior management circles as a softer, less accountable, way of working. Is that true?

This talk will delve into how the human psyche works, drawing on latest studies in neuro and psycho analysis, combined with Harvard studies, to outline the best ways to define, identify and deal with 'bad apples' in an Agile environment while honouring the values and principles of Agile
