50. Managers and Agile Creating an Agile Culture Lean-Agile
management is the art of leading people, not managing them...
Leading people involves creating the correct environment, focusing
them on the right things, and trusting them to do their work... In
Lean-Agile, the manager has two primary responsibilities: setting
the outcomes or goals expected of the team; assisting the doers in
creating a better process and workspace to get their jobs done...
