Selbstorganisierte Teams führen

Know-how for Leading Interdisciplinary Teams in Practice

A step-by-step immersion into the topic. Description of concrete tools and practices that help in real-world applications. A workbook for all managers and leaders, as well as coaches in agile environments.

"The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams," claims the Agile Manifesto. This statement raises several questions: What do such teams look like? What form of leadership do they need? And how can this be implemented in a way that promotes self-organization?

"Leading Self-Organizing Teams" offers practical answers to all these questions. Siegfried Kaltenecker describes how leadership functions in a self-organizing environment and provides numerous tips on how to enhance one's leadership skills. He introduces the fundamentals and core values of self-organizing teams: Commitment, Simplicity, Respect, and Courage. Using concrete case studies from the Lean and agile world, he thoroughly describes the action-guiding core competencies of Focusing, Designing, Moderating, and Changing. For each competency, he provides specific tools, such as Customer Radar, visual work management, humble inquiry, or feedback planners, enabling the reader to understand the practical implementation.

The 3rd edition has been completely revised, including a deeper exploration of cross-team coordination and the addition of new tools and practical examples.
