Description:
This model represents a methodology developed by Roy Osherove to grow self-organising teams. Based on the book by the same title, the methodology looks at three steps that teams can find themselves into, and three specific leadership styles that best fit each stage.
The foundational concept is that team can be grown, and therefore these stages might be all relevant in the life-cycle of a team. It is important to recognise the patterns for each and especially insist on the self-organisation only when the team is capable to undertake such an strategy.

I realized that there isn't one picture that shows the entire elastic leadership model with the right amount of details out there. So I made one. Would love any feedback in the comments!

Elastic Leadership
By Roy Osherove You're a manager, technical team leader, architect, or scrum master and your team looks to you for guidance. You have to mediate heated debates. Personality clashes are yours to handle. The team is constantly putting out fires instead of doing the right things, the right way.
