10. Leadership is about teams
Bill Gates: “As we look ahead into the next century,
leaders will be those who empower others.”
John Maxwell: “Leadership is influence –
nothing more, nothing less.”
Leadership is a process of social influence, which
maximizes the efforts of others, towards the
achievement of a goal.
11. The best architectures, requirements, and designs
emerge from self-organizing teams.
Build projects around motivated individuals. Give
them the environment and support they need, and
trust them to get the job done.
Business people and developers must work
together daily throughout the project.
At regular intervals, the team reflects on how
to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts
its behavior accordingly.
Agile is about teams
30. Team of Leaders
Leadership is not the sole prerogative of
people with fancy titles, corner offices,
and loads of frequent-flier miles. (...) We
purposefully focus on “leadership,” not the
“leader.”
Bob and Greg Vanourek
