Demonstrates interventions used in coaching and agile efforts (celebrations, playfulness, flow work, weekly checkouts, burning old beliefs) and reports concrete outcomes: smoother agile adoption when supported, stalled change when disengagement persists, and people leaving or thriving depending on environment.
