Transformational Leadership the DevOps Way
summary
Claims that the 2017 State of DevOps Report links five characteristics (vision, inspirational communication, intellectual stimulation, supportive leadership, personal recognition) to outcomes and notes the bottom third half as likely to reach high IT performance. Specific tactics include translating big-picture vision into local goals, broadcast wins to counter corporate antibodies, create a psychological safety culture, use anonymous feedback and named prompts to draw out shy team members, and deliberately pace change while rewarding small improvements.
