Rooted in agile software development and initially referred to leading self-organizing development teams (Appelo, 2011;[1]), the concept of agile leadership is now used to more generally denote an approach to people and team leadership that is focused on boosting adaptiveness in highly dynamic and complex business environments (Hayward, 2018;[2] Koning, 2020;[3] Solga, 2021[4]).
