"An organization's formal authority is often as much as 1000x(!) too slow to keep pace with most of the work going on around it. This means, by the way, that the formal org chart is not how most of the real work gets done."

The Agile Trojan War
The Trojan Horse is a story about war; and, in certain respects, that is precisely why it is such a good metaphor for Agile transformations. Agile tends to entail culture clash, a conflict of visions between executives on one side, wanting to make Agile into a Tayloristic intervention, a way to squeeze more blood from the stone of their teams, and the teams themselves on the other, who see Agile as entailing wholesale culture evolution, a transformation that leaders do not get to exempt themselves from.
