In Agile, the people side is fundamental and indeed the first value in the Agile Manifesto is:
Openness & curiosity
A repertoire might be more useful than a conviction; especially if one wants to keep in mind that there are many kinds of good life – Adam Phillips
Respect people & humanise the workplace
Even in a hierarchy people can be equal as thinkers – Nancy Kline
Empathy
You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view, until you climb into his skin and walk around in it – Harper Lee
Deep listening
The quality of your attention determines the quality of other people’s thinking – Nancy Kline
Appreciation & compassion
A person who is impartial, fair, calm, gentle, serene, accepting, and openhearted is indeed a refuge – Karen Armstrong
Growth mindset
Intelligence can develop, effort leads to success – Carol Dweck
