We all love Star Wars, don't we? One of the most spectacular, intriguing, and charming characters of this series is Yoda – the Jedi Master. He is a symbol of wisdom, thoughtful leadership, and courage. What I found surprising is that those characteristics are also the ones we would like to attribute to a Servant Leader in any organisation! 

            In this presentation I will analyze seven aspects of Yoda’s approach and leadership behavior that can directly inspire current and future Leaders in any IT organisation and improve agility. Lessons focus on either the approach to teamwork and collaboration or individual perspective that can help you stay focused on what’s of most value. Yoda’s seven lessons aim at identifying a way Leaders can grow their teams and themselves. I also focus on how they build adaptive organisations that are designed to respond to change. As a bonus I will describe one fatal decision Yoda made in his leadership history and how we can build on it not to repeat his mistake in our everyday work.
