Recommendation

Companies need agility to manage today’s latest challenges. In this entry from the Professional Scrum Series by Scrum.org, experienced agility authors and consultants Ron Eringa, Kurt Bittner and Laurens Bonnema provide business leaders with strategies and an eight-step game plan for introducing agility and developing agile teams. Their informative manual, which incorporates an extended, illustrative, fictional case history, will help business leaders avoid common missteps that can interfere with an effective transition to agile management.  

Take-Aways

  • Traditional companies now need agile leaders, teams and cultures.
  • The flawed idea that employees aren’t intrinsically trying to excel leads to demotivating micromanagement.
  • “Catalytic” leaders foster teams that can make proactive decisions based on goals and values.
