Awesome People Management with Agile at Agile North EastMeri Williams
The document discusses agile people management. It describes the author's experience with traditional corporate people development practices, noting both benefits and downsides. The author argues that while some traditional practices can be adjusted for agile work, a different approach is still needed.

The overall goal is to help employees feel they have space to do their best work and develop in a fulfilling career.
Effective managers today are multi-tasking and combine new technologies with high standards. They fulfill many roles such as administrators, project managers, and part-time therapists for employees. Successful managers seek out employees who work hard without needing prodding. Managers must have strong skills to be effective in today's changing business world and different management roles require different skills.
