Agile ain't easy...
Trying to change a leadership style from classic to agile can be exhausting.
Not only don’t you know where and how to start, also the team gets confused.
Chaos, stress, resistance might be the result, while instead you wish to have a successful and happy team.
You are not the only one that struggles in that way!
Most of the agile approaches focus on methods that are used in software development, which are not applicable to other areas of work.
In addition, they focus on the method as a tool but not on how to use it.
And most tell you what not to do - instead of showing you what you can learn.
Tight Loose Tight has been developed and taught in Norway as an agile leadership principle since 2010.
It has been used to successfully transform traditional managers to agile leaders.
Large enterprises, public service organizations as well as the Norwegian church are convinced:
Tight Loose Tight is a leadership approach that can be used in all contexts.
Learn the foundations of Tight Loose Tight!

- you will have learned how to combine innovation with operation,
- you will be part of a network of equals to share your experiences and learn from each other.
