What does leader mean in self-organizing teams? Is there one leader or many? What factors enable or squelch leading? How does leading in self-organizing teams compare to more traditional roles?

*Understanding leadership in teams:* Team members lead by enabling others to solve problems. Without title or position team members motivate others, organize and reorganize themselves to solve their current problem, and innovate by sharing information and ideas. This leads to dynamic and emergent leaders.

Using the Motivation, Organization, and Innovation (MOI) leadership model, participants learn how to foster leadership in their agile teams, and how to encourage motivation, organization, and innovation. We’ll share examples of successes, and tools and frameworks to understand how the team is doing.
