Give them an opportunity and an environment where they can do so."<br /><br />For me, an agile approach is a very good step toward that kind of environment. I think the behaviors companies say they want and the direct benefits they, for sure, want feed one another through having the environment, as George says.<br /><br />The right environment will allow the behaviors to develop and the people will respond to being able to display those behaviors with the loyalty, leading to retention, that the company wants.Scott Duncannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-224928398513703850.post-31357588212823183112009-08-09T12:01:17.555-04:002009-08-09T12:01:17.555-04:00It's not just that Agile encourages the kind o...It's not just that Agile encourages the kind of employees that companies say they want.
