商品描述

The practices of agile software development and DevSecOps (Development integrated with Security integrated with Operations) differ from traditional linear systems of working. The people doing this work - who they are and what they expect - and the way the work gets done in today's tech industry demand a leadership practice specific to this way of working. This book explores leadership practice in today's technology industry using the twelve principles of the Agile Manifesto as a framework. Each of the twelve principles includes a section of key takeaways to help the reader apply the principle in practice. It extends traditional notions of leadership, specifically Complexity Leadership Theory (CLT), to one that is post-heroic, acknowledging the processual, conjunctive and generative nature of leadership relationships.

Leader-follower dynamics are complex--they include power dynamics, conflict, ambiguity, and paradox--and technology organizations are complex. This book challenges the suitability of some aspects of complexity theory and offers practices that are more suitable for leading today's technology organizations.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

敏捷軟體開發和DevSecOps（將開發與安全和運營整合）的方法與傳統的線性工作系統有所不同。從事這項工作的人的身份和期望，以及當今科技產業的工作方式，都要求一種特定於這種工作方式的領導實踐。本書以《敏捷宣言》的十二項原則作為框架，探討當今科技產業的領導實踐。每一項原則都包含一個關鍵要點的部分，以幫助讀者在實踐中應用該原則。它擴展了傳統的領導觀念，特別是複雜性領導理論（Complexity Leadership Theory, CLT），轉向一種後英雄主義的觀點，承認領導關係的過程性、聯結性和生成性特質。

領導者與追隨者之間的動態是複雜的——它們包括權力動態、衝突、模糊性和矛盾——而科技組織本身也很複雜。本書挑戰了某些複雜性理論的適用性，並提供了更適合於領導當今科技組織的實踐。
