About the Book
Agile is now eating the world. Organizations have to embrace Agile today and as we ask our leaders to take acts of leadership in an Agile environment, it can be demanding on them to operate in an environment that demands a new leadership mindset. This book wants to help Agile leaders by provinding them with a soft skills toolkit to make them succeed in such a landscape.
Jeffrey Pfeffer, listed in the top 25 management thinkers, wrote on his blog how "Businesses—indeed, all organizations—are first and foremost about relationships." No wonder why the signatories of the manifesto for Agile Software Development wrote "Individuals and interactions over processes and tools" as the first line of the manifesto. They also shared Pfeffer observation on how relationships are at the core of software development. Throughout this book, I want to help Agile leaders become more fluent with their soft skills so they can enable their leadership in an Agile environment.
About the Author
Louis-Philippe Carignan
Louis-Philippe first discovered Agile while toying with test-driven development and continuous integration in 2004. He then encountered XP, Scrum and never wanted to do another traditional IT project afterwards. Louis-Philippe works as an Agile coach and trainer where he helps people exceed their own expectations. Author on many Agile blogs, he has decided to write about soft skills in Agile software development, a topic he believes is often neglected but overly powerful in any team. Louis-Philippe strongly believes that teamwork is the ultimate competitive advantage because it is so powerful and so rare. While the Agile litterature talks about engineering practices or the processes to put in place, seldom are books who address the importance of soft skills between teammates.
