Does a team of Agile Coaches need leadership or not?

Description

We often ask ourselves the question: What about a „team“ of agile coaches in a company? Are they a team? Are they not? What are they then? Or what not? The lecture takes up some theories, compares them with experienced practice from the daily life of an agile coaching team and after this classification swings to the question: does such a team need leadership? Which leadership? Which not? And how can this be applied to other organisational „formats“? Specialist teams?

Learning objectives:
A thesis and discussion on the topic of whether and what leadership a team of agilists (or specialists) needs in order to create the environment for such a team to be successful in a transformation.
