Leadership in Flux is your compass in a disordered world—where complexity is the norm, disruption is constant, and yesterday’s playbook no longer applies. Hosted by Sanjiv Augustine, a pioneering voice in Agile leadership and organizational transformation, this podcast dives deep into what it really takes to lead with impact in a BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, and Incomprehensible) world.
Each episode features unfiltered conversations with seasoned executives, bold innovators, and change agents who are redefining leadership in real time. From navigating enterprise-wide Agile transformations to reshaping operating models and embedding AI into core strategies, we explore the mindsets, methods, and moments that define modern leadership.
You’ll hear stories of failure and reinvention, practical frameworks for thriving amidst ambiguity, and the human side of leading through volatility. Whether you’re a C-suite leader, transformation architect, or rising changemaker, Leadership in Flux equips you with the clarity, courage, and adaptability to stay ahead of the curve—and help others do the same. This is more than a podcast. It’s a leadership lab for the future.
This episode features Jeff Sutherland. Dr. Jeff Sutherland, co-creator of Scrum, is a global pioneer in agile methodologies. A West Point graduate and former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot, he flew over 100 missions in Vietnam, honing skills in adaptability and teamwork. After earning a Ph.D. in Biometrics and working as a cancer researcher, Jeff transitioned to technology, starting the first Scrum team in 1993 at Easel Corporation, naming it after Takeuchi and Nonaka’s rugby-inspired concept. A signatory of the 2001 Agile Manifesto, he developed Scrum@Scale and founded Scrum Inc., training thousands to achieve double the productivity in half the time. His books, including Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time and First Principles in Scrum, share his insights on building high-performing teams.
