Adrienne was working with a small team, in a governmental organization, that had started their Agile adoption journey. A supervisor/manager was assigned to be a team member in that team. In this episode, we discuss how the relationships of power or hierarchical superiority can destroy a team, if we don’t pay special attention to the collaboration between team members. Featured Book of the Week: Leadership is Language by L. David Marquet  When reading Leadership is Language by L. David Marquet, Adrienne learned about some aspects of language, and the words we use that can directly affect the success of our work as Scrum Masters and leaders. We also talk about the importance of language in helping people accept they can make a change to their own lives, and at work. In this segment, we refer to the special BONUS episode with L. David Marquet.    About Adrienne Rinaldi Adrienne Rinaldi is an Agile Transformation Coach and co-founder with PinnacleTek Consulting.
