Summary

Practical, Proven Tools for Leading and Empowering High-Performing Agile Teams
A leader is like a farmer, who doesn't grow crops by pulling them but instead creates the perfect environment for the crops to grow and thrive。 If you lead in organizations that have adopted agile methods, you know it's crucial to create the right environment for your agile teams。 Traditional tools such as Gantt charts, detailed plans, and internal KPIs aren't adequate for complex and fast-changing markets, but merely trusting employees and teams to self-manage is insufficient as well。

In Agile Leadership Toolkit, longtime agile leader Peter Koning provides a practical and invaluable steering wheel for agile leaders and their teams。 Drawing on his extensive experience helping leaders drive more value from agile, Koning offers a comprehensive toolkit for continuously improving your environment, including structures, metrics, meeting techniques, and governance for creating thriving teams that build disruptive products and services。 Koning thoughtfully explains how to lead agile teams at large scale and how team members fit into both the team and the wider organization。
Architect environments that help teams learn, grow, and flourish for the long term Get timely feedback everyone can use to improve Co-create goals focused on the customer, not the internal organization Help teams brainstorm and visualize the value of their work to the customer Facilitate team ownership and accelerate team learning Support culture change, and design healthier team habits Make bigger changes faster This actionable guide is for leaders at all levels-whether you're supervising your first agile team, responsible for multiple teams, or lead the entire company。

I liked reading this book and found it fun for some practices to experiment with (had the chance to test the impact ladder and found that quite useful combining 5 whys thinking with customer and product impact。 Although some practices were a bit a variation of management 3。0 practices, The last part about cultural change and habit tracking drew me the most as the most interesting part of the book, the rest felt less pragmatic from my end 。 Great book to read nevertheless

Must-read for Agile LeadershipExcellent book for starter and experienced Agile Leadership。 Great tools that can move your teams and organization。 I think this book cannot stand alone - a new agile leader will have to read more about agile frameworks to be able to coach/support an agile transformation。

I simply didn't "click" with this book。 On a surface it looks promising, but I had problems with actually connecting that to the real-life situations I'm facing at my work。 Maybe I just stumble upon it in a wrong moment。 I simply didn't "click" with this book。 On a surface it looks promising, but I had problems with actually connecting that to the real-life situations I'm facing at my work。 Maybe I just stumble upon it in a wrong moment。 。。。more

Ok-ish little book that I could recommend to agile leaders。 Easy to read with quite useful content。 Some of the examples/tools felt a little bit 。。。 hmm, „shallow“ to me, also some resemble other existing tools very much 。。。 still ok。 Not the comprehensive handbook that i was searching for。
