The Role of Leadership in DevOps
summary
Argues that large DevOps transformations fail without leadership and gives four concrete leadership roles: transformation leader who crafts the organization’s DevOps story, servant leader who creates safe-to-fail experiments, a kernel team of skilled integrators that coordinates autonomous teams, and a communication enabler who adopts and uses channels like GitHub, Slack or HipChat. Applies situational leadership: skill-based leadership works for startups but enterprises need cultural and structural change; cites continuous delivery, containers, infra-as-code and microservices as the tooling backbone.
