The Professional Agile Leader: Growing Mature Agile Teams and Organizations by Ron Eringa,

The accelerating pace of change is a mortal threat to teams and organizations that can't respond quickly enough, but it opens immense new opportunities for those that can. Today, organizations need teams capable of innovating, failing fast, learning the right lessons, and quickly putting them into practice. This requires Agile Leaders with fundamentally different leadership skillsets, who can break through obsolete and limiting notions about the nature of good management. In The Professional Agile Leader, three pioneering Scrum leaders introduce a practical, proven approach to fostering responsive and adaptive team cultures. The authors structure powerful lessons around a fictionalized case study based on their own experiences helping agile leaders achieve and sustain transformations. Drawing on decades of work in the trenches, they offer deep dives into agile leadership strategies--showing how to rediscover the customer, shift from output to impact, convert predictable existential crises into opportunities to thrive, grow leaders everywhere, and help your teams own transformation. Focused, specific, realistic, and practical, this guide never settles for high-level hand-waving: instead, you'll learn how it's really done.
