“The object of the superior man is truth.”
Confucius
In the context of agile and stoicism, this translates to a relentless pursuit of results that matter.
Focusing on results, we embrace the stoic principle of focusing on what can be controlled – our actions, efforts, and attitudes towards goals.
Agile ways of working echo this sentiment by prioritising value delivery through iterative progress and adaptive planning.
Fostering a results-oriented mindset within teams involves setting clear, achievable goals, cultivating a culture of collective accountability, and encouraging continuous improvement.
This comes to life further through the creation of cross-functional teams whose goals are shared by all team members.
Guided by their north star, the product goal, and executed through the alignment of sprint goals that make up the product goal.
