Even organizations large and small have learned how to be lean and agile while executing a strategy at a high level. A Hard Trend is a projection based on measurable, tangible, and fully predictable facts, events, or objects. It’s something that will happen: a future fact that cannot be changed. You must anticipate the future.

These types of events become something of a disappointment if I do most the talking. For those that score themselves highly, the consistent reason why comes down to leadership. The organization’s leadership wants the employee to continuously challenge the current way of doing things. It’s human nature.

One that is characterized by sudden, even violent success or an event, some moments of brilliant dominance, followed by a dramatic change in conditions as others have spotted the same opportunity and you hit a rapid decline, the race to the bottom of competition constantly negating one another. The new leader within all of us needs to arise.

Agile teams can lose the long term direction by focusing on small sprints. Lean startups like to talk about minmum viable product as the smallest amount of effort to validate an assumption, but it is odd that they jump right into coding.
