Leadership and Teams

The Ad Tech Blog

Self-managed teams do not exist In my early days studying agile , there was this idea about self-managed self-regulatory teams. Leadership was an unnecessary overhead. They don’t need a leader; they only allow smart people like them.

It’s easy to teach freedom, but important to teach responsibility. Because if you get the responsibility taken care of, often the freedom will follow.
