Good Scrum Masters are passionate.
Great Scrum Masters are dispassionate.
I have learned that there is a good correlation between the Four Stages of Learning and the stages of Scrum Mastery. In this Whitepaper, I have tried to demonstrate how some of the behaviors of the Scrum Master block their shift to servant-leadership. In doing so, I have described the need for recognizing what stage we are in. It is my conviction that Scrum Masters will benefit by gaining insight to inspect and adapt their style.
.
A Scrum Master can use these stages to check whether she/he is playing the role in a way that the chances of success will be the highest.

When many organizations wanted to incorporate Scrum, it was a big disappointment. The leaders saw it as a failed experiment that did not yield the positive impact one would hope for. Nevertheless, I have witnessed the transformational results and great rewards an organization reaps when it truly embraces Scrum values.

In this series, I want to Introduce some helpful tips for Scrum Masters on “Systems Thinking” - a diagnostic Tool and a disciplined approach for examining problems more completely and accurately before acting. Lights on! Camera !
Read the Scripts, Role Play , Post me back the experimentation!!
Action!!! 1.. 2 .. 3
Are you solving all the “Impediment of your teams” ? Then read on!!!
Today’s Impediments come from yesterday’s “Resolution”
One of the Services of a Scrum Master is to “serve” the Development Team in several ways , the Scrum guide better articulated it, One of the Services include,
Removing impediments to the Development Team’s progress;
Often we are puzzled by the causes of our problems, when Scrum Masters are approached with an Impediment , the easiest way to “Remove” the Impediment is to apply “Familiar” Solution to the problems, Sticking to what we know best. I would like to recall an ancient “Sufi Story”
“A passerby encounters a drunk on his hands and knees under a Street lamp, He offers to help & finds out that the drunk is looking for his house keys. After several minutes, he asks, “Where did you drop your keys? “, the drunk replies that he dropped them outside his front door. Then why look for them here? asks the passerby. “Because”, says the drunk there is no light by my doorway.
All find comfort applying “Familiar” Solution to problems Sticking to what we know best, but
“Scrum Masters are enablers than doers”
They enable teams to Solve their Impediments, After all if the solution for the Impediments were Obvious to everyone, it probably would have already been found. Pushing harder and harder on familiar Solutions & removing the Impediments so quickly will Self-defeat the Self-Organization.
Most Importantly, Scrum Masters look things from a Systemic View, Peter Senge in his book articulated very well, He says
The cure can be worse than the disease
Sometimes the easy or quick Resolution of Impediments is not only ineffective; Sometimes it is addictive and dangerous. Alcoholism, for instance , may start as a Simple Social habit- a solution to the problem of low self-esteem or life relates stress. Gradually, the cure becomes worse than the disease
Resolving all the Impediments for the teams , will create a drastic local Optimization which is worse than the “Impediment”. The long-term , most insidious consequences of applying non-systemic solution is increased need for more and more of the solution.
Shifting the Impediment to the teams increases the Creativity of your teams, Constraints foster creativity in teams. Learning to handle this may be hard; Once Scrum Masters learn to Optimize things globally- The cure is permanent :)
Happy Scrum Mastering!!!!
