Abstract: This article investigates the constraints of conventional agile practices in hybrid environments, where teams are dispersed across multiple locations. Traditional agile methodologies, which depend on co-located teams and face-to-face interactions, frequently fail in hybrid settings, resulting in communication gaps, reduced team cohesion, and inconsistent performance. The paper suggests solutions to these challenges, with a particular emphasis on the transition from command-and-control leadership to servant leadership. It underscores the necessity for agile project managers to cultivate essential skills, including the ability to foster collaboration, ensure clear communication, and strike the appropriate balance between flexibility and control. Furthermore, it emphasises the role of technology in bridging the gap between remote and on-site team members, ensuring alignment and smooth project execution. The paper ultimately outlines how hybrid agile leadership can address these challenges, resulting in improved outcomes in distributed teams.
