Empowering Teams in a Post-Agile World: Leadership Redefined
summary
Argues leadership shifts from process labels to concrete moves: leading into unknown, coping with AI-driven churn, and choosing when to be hands-off or intervene. Recommends push context down, hire smart people and get out of their way, and “ask forgiveness not permission.” Gives concrete examples — replaced FTP no‑source‑control practices, a security change that scaled impact ~10–100× across an org, and remote vs office tradeoffs; treats “definition of done” as live plus post‑deploy ownership.
