#024 - Leading with Truth and Grace in the Agile World with Leslie Hill

In this episode of the Inflection Podcast, I chat with the SVP, Head of Agile Transformation at City National Bank, Leslie Hill.

Leslie is a seasoned leader in the Agile space. She shares her journey into Agile leadership, emphasizing the importance of people over processes and the natural fit she found in Agile due to its focus on relationships.

Leslie recounts her early days of leadership and discusses the bold move her company made during an Agile transformation, which required her to quickly adapt and lead by example. She highlighted the significance of soft skills in Agile roles and the need for those who aren't naturally people-oriented to develop these skills to succeed in Agile environments.

We also talk about the challenges and opportunities for women in tech, with Leslie sharing personal examples. She stresses the importance of having male allies and the courage to engage in uncomfortable conversations to foster growth and change.

Make sure to tune in for this amazing conversation with Leslie Hill.
