2012 The Path to Agility Conference presented by the Central Ohio Agile Association (COHAA)

Abstract

Field research on the front lines of IT leadership over the last twenty years provides the first how-to approach for taking, teaching, and inspiring personal responsibility—the first principle of success in any endeavor. Many leaders consider it the essence of self-organization, learning, growth, agility, and change.

You were born with the Leadership Gift; everyone is. Every act of real leadership taps into it. But few people ever discover this gift by themselves. Now any individual, team, or business culture can master it.

You can apply this research to expand your leadership power and ability everyday, build unstoppable teams, and develop a culture of amazing agility
