Agile Leadership Lab

Lateral Leadership for Product Owners, Scrum Master, Project Leads

Half-day Lab

Leadership becomes directly visible in the cooking laboratory. The focus is on the objective analysis of one's own leadership impact and the underlying decision-making dynamics during the joint preparation of a meal.

What is this lab about?

  • In this lab, lateral leadership becomes visible through action

    • in a real, shared task - the preparation of a common meal
  • We observe patterns that often remain hidden in the office environment.

    • Who shapes the space and defines the structure?
    • Who creates facts through isolation?
    • Who gets lost in constant reassurance as time pressure increases?
  • Your own impact becomes tangible.

    • For yourself through the exchange of different perspectives.
    • Together by reflecting on these experiences.

What to expect?

Knowledge of leadership is not the same as effective leadership. Experiencing and receiving feedback on your own style in a high-pressure situation is the decisive step toward leadership maturity.

  • Evidence-based Analysis: Mirroring of your leadership impact

  • Clarity: Identification of blind spots in decision-making and responsibility dynamics.

  • Operational Certainty: Gaining confidence in leadership roles without formal disciplinary authority.
