My agile transformation clients struggle with this big question: How do we effectively reward managers? The more the organization wants or needs an agile transformation, the less the current reward structure works. Her HR department and her manager, the CIO, want to measure her work.

Instead of individual achievements, we can reward the types of agile leadership we want to see in agile teams.
