Market uncertainties are challenging companies' ability to survive and thrive as they are currently under intense pressure to innovate faster and better to remain competitive. Agile methods have become a reference for these organizations, which have recognized agile methodologies for software development as a possibility to solve current problems and ensure the efficiency of their processes. The demand for continuous software deliveries, with customer collaboration and early generation of value, has driven organizations to adopt agile methodologies whose process management is leaner and lighter. The agile transformation process is a continuous and dynamic effort, which promotes the agility of the organization, as well as the development of an agile culture to adapt in rapidly changing environments. The challenges and success factors for large-scale agile transformations highlight the importance of leaders in the process of changing the way we work. Agile transformations require the entire organization to shift its mindset from a command-and-control culture to an organizational culture that encourages change and rapid learning. This research aimed to determine which leadership characteristics are most relevant to effectively influence the large-scale agile transformation process in a public financial institution. The research was conducted using a quantitative approach, with the objective of investigating whether financial institution leaders changed their leadership styles due to the challenges of agile transformations. The results of this research can help companies to better understand the agile transformation process and the relevant leadership characteristics in this process. They provide useful insights into the leadership styles most suited to leading the shift to an agile culture and can be used to assess leadership styles that can benefit agile teams in software development.
