Agile project management principles help solo entrepreneurs build resilient, human-centered businesses in the age of AI. Kinga shares stories of how her philosophies around decision making, leadership architecture, and community were formed.
Kinga Vajda, founder of Execute Your Intentions, shares how agile project management principles can transform solo entrepreneurship. Drawing from 25 years in technology and leadership, Kinga explains how to pressure-test ideas, reduce decision fatigue, and apply critical thinking to avoid burnout.
Key leadership lessons:
- Agility for entrepreneurs - break problems into smaller parts, test, iterate, and refine decisions like a self-organizing system.
- Decision fatigue is real - leaders need structure and prioritization to free energy for strategy, not menus of endless choices.
- AI as a collaborator - treat tools like ChatGPT as a thought partner to challenge bias, spark new perspectives, and strengthen decision-making.
- Leadership as architecture - build solid foundations (purpose and vision), flexible frameworks (systems and roles), and open space for innovation.
- Community is resilience - strong networks and supportive peers create the conditions for sustainable leadership in a changing economy.
