Summary

The Professional Agile Leader is a realistic, practical guide written by experienced agile leaders who share their collective experiences in helping agile leaders to grow responsive and adaptive teams. They structure powerful lessons around a case study based on decades of experience helping agile leaders achieve and sustain agile transformation. Best of all, they never settle for high-level hand-waving—they show you how it’s really done. 

  • Reignite once-successful organizations that have lost their way; 
  • Form cross-functional teams and empower them with purpose; 
  • Learn to let go as your teams start taking more responsibility; 
  • Overcome forces that want to reel you back into the "old rules"; 
  • Realign the whole organization, since agile and traditional models can’t coexist forever; 
  • Achieve the most challenging goal of all: changing culture. 

Great agile leaders aren’t born that way—they’re regular people who care deeply about helping others achieve shared goals and have discovered a better way to lead. Whatever your role in the organization, this guide will help you master those skills and mindsets a whole lot faster.

Change of leadership style for Transformation

This book provided great insights on the desired style of leadership for a lasting Agile transformation. The authors introduce us to a fictitious company that wants to change their ways of working in order thrive in an ever changing, uncertain and unpredictable world.

They start with forming a team with a bunch of enthusiastic individuals who volunteers to try new ways of working. The team is provided autonomy in how they self-select people on their teams.

They start more forming more Agile teams after seeing the success of the first two teams. Then the authors introduce us to the four styles of leadership and provides advise on what is desired for Agile organisations. Insights are provided on the change in compensation and culture.

I would certainly recommend this book for leaders firstly and then Agile Coaches / Scrum Masters.
