“In no other area of management education is the concept of myth as prevailing as in leadership.” - Jeffery Pinto, Project Leadership: From Theory to Practice
Agile project management is more closely aligned to leadership best practices than traditional project management best practices.

It also has an “elitist” reputation that puts most people off wanting to learn more about it since our sense of humility guides us away from pursuing such egotistical goals. This produces a vicious circle: We have these misconceptions about leadership, but because it seems egocentric we leave it alone and do not overcome them.
This is a shame, because when you strip away the myths, leadership is really about team work, empowering others and putting the goals of an endeavour above personal goals--quite the opposite of elitist, egocentric behaviour.
