Leadership Lessons From The Agile Manifesto
summary
Connects each Agile value to a concrete leadership rule: preserve dignity at all costs (a Slack bacon joke offends a Malaysian teammate, results in a posted code of conduct and better retention), working always ships faster than perfect (set up India support hours and observed one live call vs weeks of planning), treat customers as colleagues (merged two companies into one scrum team and finish early), and prefer flexibility over rigid plans (WCAG audit fixes by prioritizing high-value violations and iterating).
