This isn’t just another leadership guide; it’s your personal roadmap to becoming a more effective, inspiring, and authentic leader in this increasingly fast-paced world.
Throughout my career, I’ve had a front-row seat to the digital revolution. I’ve witnessed firsthand how software has transformed industries, revolutionized business models, and reshaped our daily lives. It’s been an exhilarating journey, full of innovation, disruption, and seemingly limitless potential.
But as I navigated the rapidly evolving tech landscape, I began to notice a troubling pattern. The very methodologies and mindsets that propelled us forward—particularly the Agile approach that promised to deliver better software, faster—were beginning to show cracks under the weight of their own hype.
I wrote “FrAgile” because I believe we’re at a critical juncture in our digital journey. While I remain unabashedly optimistic about technology’s potential to solve global challenges and improve lives, I also recognize the urgent need for a more balanced, thoughtful approach to software development and digital transformation.

“Amidst the transformative wave of AI and modern technology, the future remains a realm of speculation. It’s not merely a binary choice between utopia and dystopia, but rather an uncharted territory awaiting exploration. While concerns of automation and AI dominance linger, I firmly believe in the enduring essence of human empathy and understanding.
