You can start now

Small steps, small victories

Make your own way

Forget about “how agile you are”

Concentrate on actions

You control only yourself

And that’s hard by itself

People don’t like change

And you may find some friends

What not to do!

Tell everyone you’re going agileIf you think nobody listened before

Proclaim you’re better than the other peonsOf course you are

Go whole hog

If possible, find a running mate

Identify the oppositionNeed to handle them with care and affectionWhat matters to them? Help them achieve it
