By now we know that agile does not mean anarchy. It is simple yet disciplined. Leadership plays an important part in its success. We heard, learned, and experienced the characteristics and behavior required for an agile transition as well as continuous adaption and improvement. Agile leadership can be strong, powerful, and subtle. How is leadership similar or different for different roles such as ScrumMaster, executive, or functional manager or for different enterprise goals? How can heroic leaders transform themselves to post-heroic? How does leadership style affect the team? How do servant leaders take a back seat yet influence, facilitate, coach, and rally teams to success?

We need a new kind of leadership. Join the Leadership and Teams stage in a series of talks, workshops, tutorials, discussion panel, and experience reports on topics such as agile leadership, leadership tools, roles, communication and dialog, collaboration, project and portfolio management, scaling agile, risk management, building trust, and facilitation.
