Are you an architect? Scrum Master? team leader? project manager? If you are any of these, you will find that leadership, done right, is a very tough job. This book deals with the hard parts. Not with tools, but with people. Here is the manifesto that drives this book: For us as team leaders, the goal and the way we measure our work is the overall growth in skills of self-organization and self-maintenance in each member of our team and the team as a whole. To that end: -We accept that the team's needs from us change continuously based on their skills for handling the current reality of work, so we embrace a continuously changing leadership style over a one-style-fits-all leadership approach. -We believe in challenging ourselves and our teams to always get better, so: - * We create slack time for the team to learn and be challenged. - * We embrace taking risks for our team over staying safe. - * We embrace fear and discomfort while learning new skills over keeping people within their comfort zone. - * We embrace experimentation as a constant practice over maintaining the status quo: - * With people - * With tools - * With processes - * With the environment -* We believe our core practice is leading people, not wielding machines, so: - * We embrace spending more time with our team than in meetings. - * We embrace treating software problems as people problems. - * We learn people skills and communication techniques.
