Courage is great but you shouldn't need it to be effective. At least it's not what to go for.

You need courage to go to war. You shouldn't need courage to go to work. https://bit.ly/4dUbPCe

Going beyond the normalization that Scrum has provided for us at the team. https://bit.ly/4buOwwT

The need for Systems Thinking. https://bit.ly/44V1fq9

The Scrum Guide should just say a Scrum Master should be a leader who serves, and leave it at that.

The 'values' they speak of are actually personality traits, which is an embarrassing mistake to make, and the guide's bumbling of the topic discredits their authority over the rest of the text.

And many of the values are contradictory. Openness? So everyone including clients and stakeholders should attend the Daily Scrum? Sprint Retrospective? So things should be completely open, but at the same time not completely open?

Personality traits lie on a spectrum, which is one of the failures of this spectrum - their inability to realize that virtues can also turn into vices in the extreme.

Punt this section in the next Scrum Guide and allow those educated in the psychological literature do the speaking on the topic.
