The document discusses key principles of agile leadership: 1) Find problems to solve and people with skills to solve them by building motivated teams around passionate volunteers. 2) Involve single owners for each initiative and define work goals before each cycle. 3) Create an environment where people can work well with flexibility in time, place, resources and processes. 4) Share plans and results openly while stopping behaviors that hinder agile work and using facilitators to help manage conflicts.

11. A story about agile
As agile methods spread to all of Systematic’s software development teams, Michael
Holm began to worry that his leadership team was hindering progress. The agile
development teams were doing things differently, while the management team was stuck
doing things the same old-fashioned way - moving too slowly and relying on too many
written reports that were out-of-date.
So Holm decided to run his leadership team as an agile team. The team
 eliminated more than half of reports,
 increased attention to customer satisfaction,
 began having daily 20-minute stand-up meetings to discuss 1) what people did the day
before, 2) what they would do that day, and 3) where they needed help.
Other functions - including HR, legal, finance, and sales, now operate like this.
