QUOTES

Matt: “One pattern I've seen across multiple companies, the organization doesn't have the capability to do this stuff.”

Matt: “Helping the organization own it, rather than just kind of have something installed on itself, that's the real hard work that coaches, Scrum Masters, and product people do.”

Matt: “I try to work at the highest levels, I can't, at some point, you're gonna get frustrated, you're gonna get the resistance. So part of it is understanding how you deal with change.”

Matt: “I think a lot of organizations suffer from a lack of psychological safety, organizationally, in teams.”

Matt: “For leaders, managers, always be working on yourself first. You know, I realized how much I fail, and how much I want to improve. And so always be reading, always improving.”
