Agility enables you, your team, and your organization to streamline slow and awkward actions, overcome obstacles quickly, and adapt to change with ease and grace.
Agility isn’t a formula, a framework, nor a set of roles and rituals to follow. It’s a timeless way of being that matures with practice and skill. Becoming agile involves knowing the difference between being quick or hurrying, moving with ease or difficulty, being in or out of balance, graceful or awkward, adaptable or rigid, resourceful or resentful.
With Joy of Agility, Joshua Kerievsky, CEO of Industrial Logic, one of the oldest and most-respected agile consultancies in the world, shows you how to harness agility in work and life to solve problems and succeed sooner.
Kerievsky shares six essential agile mantras, plus unforgettable, real-world stories of agile people and teams, that will empower you to be quick, adaptable, and resourceful in the face of challenges and opportunities.
The six agile mantras also form the major parts of this book. In each part, you’ll find a description of the mantra along with numerous stories that further explain it. For now, let’s look at brief summaries of each of the six mantras:
•Be Quick—But Don’t Hurry: Succeed sooner via quickness under control and avoid costly mistakes from hurrying or rushing. •Be Balanced and Graceful: Resolve imbalances, collaborate harmoniously with others, and make change empowering, not forced. •Be Poised to Adapt: Develop a readiness to revise or respond quickly and easily to change. •Start Minimal and Evolve: Begin quickly and easily with something basic and rapidly improve it based on what you learn. •Drive Out Fear: Make safety a prerequisite to protect people and pave the way for high performance. •Be Readily Resourceful: Solve problems without hesitation by being quick, clever, and creative.
The bulk of this book is devoted to helping you understand each of the six agile mantras via stories. Each story explores the nuances of a mantra, so you can more deeply understand what it means. Since all six of the agile mantras are closely related, you’ll often find two or more agile mantras present in any given story.

Distinguish between being quick and hurrying Gain better balance and collaborate gracefully with others Prepare and practice being poised to adapt Take deliberate steps to drive out fear Grow a solution by starting minimal and evolving Overcome obstacles by being readily resourceful
