About us

Active Agile Leadership is a platform. We humbly recognize that much of the content originates from field experts, with deeper experience than us. Our contribution over the years has been field testing ideas in Agile companies, in order to highlight and make accessible the ones that make a difference.

An act of leadership can be big or small. In either case, the domain of the leader is the future. Our mission is to grow leaders who, when facing uncertainty, always move forward.
