'There are two elements of learning that seem almost opposite, yet, each contribute immeasurably to the ability of a person to learn. Without these two elements, a person does not learn as deeply as they could.

But, if the rest of a company does not share in these same values and approaches that company will not realize the value it could achieve in embracing Agile in all aspects of the business.
