Vasco Duarte is a visionary leader in agile and lean software development.
Vasco emphasizes that innovation isn’t something leaders need to force. Instead, it happens organically when the right environment is in place.
According to him, leaders should focus on empowering people, unleashing their full potential. When teams feel trusted and valued, they bring more energy and creativity to their work.
Drawing from Dan Pink’s model of autonomy, mastery, and purpose, Vasco stresses the role of community and clear purpose in building engaged teams.
Vasco believes that well-defined boundaries are essential to encouraging innovation. These boundaries offer a structured yet flexible framework that helps teams feel secure while exploring new ideas.
Vasco’s “No Estimates” approach to software development encourages focusing on value and reducing waste. It’s all about respecting everyone’s time and effort while delivering maximum value.
Leaders must understand and align with the purposes of their employees to drive team success.
