Leadership has been considered from every angle (almost) and the efforts are going strong. New ideas, books and trends, fads are popping out frequently. Are you curious is there something more to say?

It’s not a secret that leadership in Agile is a fundament, looking from attitude and role to practice at every level of the organization. However, It is time to embrace shared leadership, a very helpful concept in describing an emergent team phenomenon whereby leadership roles and influence are distributed among team members. This approach has surprising support in studies about team performance, well-established history, and even practitioner anecdotal evidence.
Everyone can be a leader. Can this be all so simple?

In the talk, Jakub will share his hard (and less painful) multi-year experience, in creating an environment and working as a leader and with other leaders. All that will be accompanied by practical tips and scientific research. The talk will be finished with hope and surprise for the audience.
