Adaptive Leadership

This chapter wraps up with adaptive leadership. Even though this chapter and the last one have a much larger focus on stakeholder engagement, we have discussed the team as well. As an adaptive leader and Agile project manager, you must be able to pivot, roll with the punches, and adapt to your environment to lead effectively. This allows you and the development team to focus on value-adds and to reduce waste and thus meet stakeholder expectations.

I read somewhere once that “nobody actually does Agile—they ARE Agile!” This resonated with me because being a servant leader who can adapt is the definition of true agility. The meaning of it is more to the point that Agile is a way of being, not a set process of doing. Even with all of the methodologies and frameworks you have covered, the constant theme throughout all of it is effective and adaptive leadership. It’s a way of being, not of doing.

I’m going to give you a little advice. There’s a force in the universe that makes things happen. And all you have to do is get in touch with it, stop thinking, let things happen, and be the ball.
