Agile Leadership
anAgileMind takes a radically different view of leadership. Traditionally managers have been viewed as leaders. Managers take an interventionist approach in the work of teams. The need for teams to be able to work autonomously fundamentally changes the role of leaders. Leaders establish goals and encourage teams to find their own ways of achieving goals. In consequence decisions are made at the lowest level of responsibility rather than the highest point of accountability.
