“A hero ventures forth from
the world of common day into
a region of supernatural
wonder: fabulous forces are
there encountered and a
decisive victory is won: the
hero comes back from this
mysterious adventure with the
power to bestow boons on his
fellow man.”

“Transactional Leadership is a
type of leadership whereby
rewards and punishment are used
as a basis for initiating the
followers.”
“Transformational Leadership is
a leadership style in which the
leader uses his charisma and
enthusiasm to influence his
followers.”

THE MANIFESTO FOR AGILE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and
helping others do it.
Through this work we have come to value:
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on the right,
we value the items on the left more.
