In this episode, I speak to Hendrik Esser; an Agile Leader at #Ericsson. 

He takes you to his exciting journey from a skeptic leader on #Agile to turning into an advocate while leading an #AgileTransformation journey in #Ericsson since 2008. 

He is with the company for the past 30 years and has seen all of it I would say that gives a pretty unique perspective to see, learn from, and ponder on.

I'll leave you with the top 3 key takeaways and some of the questions we touched on:

Top Takeaways:

1. Be the change you want to see; you go first!

2. Accept a #coach next to you

3. Let people engage, allow different perspectives and dialogues.

Main Questions:

- What is the role of #Leadership and #Management in Agile Transformation work?

- Are we moving toward a flat org? 

- Is #hierarchy bad or is it a natural way of organizing and can be good?

- How do leaders deal with Middle Management resistance?

- What is a culture of Trust? How do leaders build it up? 

- Do leaders inherently know what they have to do?
