Philosophy Vs Values & Principles
Agile, Kanban and Rugby each have their own principles & values
Principles are determined by others, and we either subscribe to them or not
Philosophy is personal to us
Philosophy is how we apply the principles

Plan “Remember: Planning is essential,
plans may change” – RFU coaching manual
Or as Eisenhower put it “plans are useless, but planning is indispensable”
Align your plan to your long term goals
Be flexible – things will happen which require changes to plan or intended outcomes

Complexity
I was surprised when I realised Cynefin worked for Rugby too
In Rugby League, Coaching is mostly prescriptive“Do what I say or get off the park!”
In Rugby Union we coach players to make intuitive decisions instead
Why?

CultureA successful team rarely relates to talent
The coach is responsible for creating the right environment
The right environment relies on the coach understanding the importance of continuous personal development and defined coaching philosophy
The vision must be clear and agreed
The coach should be able to facilitate, establish and demonstrate core values and leadership within the team
