Blog » Executive Coaching
I've recently encountered a situation which has made me step back and re-assess a view I've held for a while, namely that the Product Owner role is the one that companies usually struggle to get right.
In the past I've thought that this was caused by not choosing the Product Owner carefully and thinking about the PO role and the attributes needed in the person who fulfills the PO role.
Recently I've had a change in thinking on this as it has always been an issue that is difficult to crack. Recently I've decided that a good way to ensure an appropriate and empowered Product Owner is to look at the executive team and their understanding and adoption of agile values and practices. I feel that there is a definite need for coaching at the exec level in order for an organisation to effectively leverage all the benefits of agile working but too often we concentrate our coaching and mentoring on the team themselves.
Time to not only think outside the box but also to step outside and coach outside the box.
