Successful agile transformations involve a personal mindset & behavior shift for everyone involved with or impacting delivery of value to our external and internal customers. If someone is already "wired" towards agility, the transition is likely to be easier for them.

First thing is to define what agility mean. By definition taken from the place where agile and agility terms was defined (USA DoD/NSF Agility Forum, Leihigh University, 1990) agility is "Be able respond to a wide variety of unexpected external surprises and
create external surprises. Being agile will assist businesses who face unpredictable circumstances.". Second, fully debatable, but it has been proven that is too dificult to achieve some goals that implies people behavor without starting from self. There are lot of prove on that. Just in case you are interested you can take a close look to PSP (Personal Software Process) from CMU SEI. You can use it as a guide. It was created when the creator of CMM saw the implementation of maturity models did not work then ask himself why and he started the journy to create a personal bridge to go for the goal that was proved personaly first before he published it.

Personal agility can only take you so far. Unless your environment allows for agility to be sought, learned, and perfected, you will not affect a large area of the organization. I've seen it myself where non-software teams started with daily standup meetings then dropped it to three times a week, then nothing after a few months.
Yes, you need people willing to become more agile. You need to provide the supporting and encouraging organization that welcomes these brave pioneers and help them thrive. Saving Changes...

One of the biggest takeaways from the Prosci training I attended, earlier this year, is that change happens at the individual level. Agility, like other behaviors, cannot happen at the organizational level if the individuals involved cannot perform the behaviors at an individual level.

This is very subjective. I must admit ‘selective’ agile would be my preferred choice in certain circumstances just like mastering selective hearing skills when trying to navigate through tough times. I felt when it comes to enterprise level agility, the weight should be leaning towards the senior management simply because not all of them are agile themselves!
Interesting discussion thank you for bringing up this topic Gaurav! Saving Changes...

Well other than if you are referring 'enterprise' agility as some mechanical device then yes, personal agility is key. An organization or enterprise is made up of people and if you take away the people you have nothing expect chairs, desks and a building. It is the agile people who make an agile organization. Agile people = agile enterprise. Saving Changes...
