Did you know a Scrum Master is an Agile leader? That change agents are that too? But what is a leader - any leader - really?

In this talk, we will discuss why learning to become a leader is such a challenge. We will discuss how the result is that our leaders are often winging it and how this results in rampant impostor syndrome.

We will explore how this struggle stems from the way we learn and how by adopting a different kind of learning, we can recover the lost art of leadership.

Takeaways:
- how our current perspective on learning is a product of scientific management - precisely the thing that Agile is trying to change.
- how management skills have nothing to do with leadership. And how understanding this fact helps to involve managers more effectively.
- how the way we learn is the first step towards empiricism and an Agile approach.
- how leadership is really about helping others.
