The word leadership can trick us into believing that we are talking about the same thing when are actually not. This presentation explores different leadership accountabilities and how they might manifest in different roles. I also describe different patterns of how this might play out using a couple specific examples from ThoughtWorks and Spotify.

Agile Toronto 2016: What do you mean when you say "leadership"?
- 1. What do you mean when you say “leadership”? Jason Yip Agile Coach, Spotify jyip@spotify.com, @jchyip
- 2. Begin TL;DR
- 3. When people say “leadership”, they are typically oversimplifying a multifaceted set of problems we are dealing with in product delivery.
- 4. Product Direction Design Direction Technology Direction People Direction Product Leadership Design Leadership Technology Leadership People Leadership Product Management Design Management Technology Management People Management This is closer to what we’re dealing with.
- 5. End TL;DR
- 6. When you hear or say “leadership” it is unlikely that everyone means the same thing.
- 7. I’m glad we all agree what “leadership” means and can now have a meaningful discussion.
- 8. If we don’t even mean the same thing by “leadership”, it’s difficult to help each other become effective at it.
- 9. Let’s be more thoughtful about how we talk about “leadership”. https://flic.kr/p/67troU
- 11. “Leadership” is multifaceted because we are solving more than one type of problem.
- 13. Groups of people trying to achieve collective outcomes encounter 3 basic problems:
- 14. Problem 1: We need to determine the right things to do. https://flic.kr/p/5LYgFW
- 15. Problem 2: We need to agree on those things to do. (or at least accept) https://flic.kr/p/aCsLj
- 16. Problem 3: We need to coordinate ourselves to do those things. https://flic.kr/p/fxh1Kk
- 17. The better we are at addressing these problems, the more successful we are likely to be.
- 18. Conversely, there are multiple paths to failure.
- 19. - Right direction - Everyone aligned - Can’t coordinate Can’t deliver
- 20. - Right direction - Not aligned - Everyone coordinated Everyone working on multiple, unaligned things. Can’t deliver.
- 21. - Wrong direction - Everyone aligned - Everyone coordinated Can deliver... the wrong thing. Can’t achieve desired outcomes.
- 22. Direction: Determining the correct thing to do Leadership: Influencing people to align with a direction Management: Coordinating people and resources
- 23. Direction, not necessarily “director” Leadership, not necessarily “leader” Management, not necessarily “manager”
