Corporate cultures, global mindsets, and employee priorities are changing, which means that management and human resources departments must also evolve. To ensure that teams are well crafted, motivated, and successful, managers and HR professionals must step outside their comfort zone and adapt to younger, newer ways of thinking—they must become Agile

In Agile People, Agile People Coach, Pia-Maria Thoren outlines how managers and human resources professionals, company decision-makers, and employees can adopt the flexible, fluid, customer focused mindset of modern tech companies to inspire their workers and strengthen their organizations. This essential handbook explains both the theories behind the Agile framework and the practical applications, showing how companies can do the following

•Create a structure and culture for an organization to meet future challenges

•Give management and HR the changed mindset and the tools to facilitate employee motivation and performance

•Empower employees to become motivated stakeholders

•Adopt hiring practices that value attitude and behavior as well as competence

•Create a passionate, loyal, and accomplished workforce

•No matter what size a company is, it can benefit from an Agile mindset, and launch into a future filled with successful leadership and motivated employees.

Pia-Maria was perhaps the first person in the world to link the terms “Agile” and “HR”. Now it’s becoming clear that she is the pioneer of a fast-growing global movement –Agile People. As Inspiration Director for her company Agile People, Pia-Maria is a key influencer in Agile HR, Leadership, and Motivation, a popular guest at conferences, and participates in numerous interviews on podcasts and blogs. In a personal, informal way –Scandinavian style –she makes it very clear that leadership needs to change.
