Become the leader that you were meant to to be

TL;DR; Leadership in modern software development is about inspiring and enabling teams rather than controlling them; managers should focus on leading people and improving effectiveness. The Scrum Master is a leadership role that supports the team and organization, not a manager or administrator. To drive better results, shift from traditional hierarchy to servant leadership and lead by example.

The Scrum Master is a Leadership Role

There is a belief that the Scrum Master is the Scrum Team ’s manager or maybe a Scribe, or even and admin. The Scrum master is not not Report Driven or interested in Resource Utilisation! They are a leader who provides services to the Scrum Team, the Product Owner , & the Organisation.
