Leadership Practices Based on GoT
summary
Uses Game of Thrones scenes (Jon Snow ordering “loose,” executing a disobedient man, persuading Tormund) to map four leadership tactics: leading by direction, leading by example, signaling, and inspiring. Shows concrete Kanban moves—swim lanes, capacity allocation (reserve of 5 slots), class of service, custom JIRA fields and WIP limits—and claims a team cuts end‑to‑end lead time from roughly 40–60 days down to about 18 days (examples from Best Day and Optimizely), demonstrating what gets built and that it works.
