Test-Driven Leadership: Crafting Testable Strategies

Explore a conference talk from NDC Porto 2024 where Andrew Murphy introduces "Test-Driven Leadership," a framework that applies Test-Driven Development (TDD) principles to leadership strategies. Learn how to identify testable leadership principles, set measurable objectives, create testable leadership hypotheses, and establish key metrics for verification to foster continuous improvement. Discover techniques for designing strategies structured around measurable outcomes, incorporating feedback loops, and utilizing A/B testing in decision-making—mirroring the red-green-refactor cycle familiar in TDD. Through real-world examples, understand how this innovative approach has driven success in various organizational settings, while also addressing common implementation challenges and their solutions. This 49-minute talk bridges the gap between theoretical leadership principles and verifiable, real-world success by reimagining software development methodologies for leadership contexts.
