Collaborative Leadership

When applying Kanban principles, it is imperative to foster an environment where leadership is encouraged at all levels throughout the organization. The goal is to create an open work culture where people collaborate effectively by sharing information, suggesting improvements, and taking collective accountability for executing the work. Leaders should practice effective listening, empathy, commitment, and insight while sharing their power and authority with team members. They are expected to be stewards who achieve results by focusing on the needs of all team members.
