# Video: Team Leadership in the Age of Agile

By Roy Osherove July 8, 2011 In [video](https://osherove.com/blog/category/video)

**Historical article** · Originally published July 8, 2011; technical details may be outdated.

during QCon 2011 in London, I gave a talk about the new qualities that team leaders need to make agile succeed. It's a very small fraction of what I cover and coach [during my upcoming course.](http://londonleadership.eventbrite.com/)

> **[See the full video here](http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Team-Leadership-in-the-Age-of-Internet)**

some of the things I cover include top mistakes that team leaders do with teams. most of these are closely related to [elastic leadership principles](http://5whys.com/blog/elastic-leadership.html) - changing the leadership type based on the team's current maturity.
