4. I catch myself thinking that sometimes I started with the wrong one in new teams ...

5. Can you give examples of the Leader's failures in a new team?

6. A few of examples from my
observations

7. №1 - MAN RITUAL
"well, now you have a
Scrum Master, so
retrospectives are now
a must!"

8. №2 – EXPERIENCED CRITIC
"Oh Gods! Who had set
up this process / board
/ Jira / whatever???
Well, ok!.. Don’t worry!
We'll fix it!“

9. №3 – Scrum police officer
" everything is
arranged not quite
according to the Scrum
Guide.. here is a list of
what I plan to
implement .."

10. №4 – TOTAL IMPROVER (of everything)
"I was hired to improve
[quality / predictability /
speed] development!
This will require training
for you and some
process changes"

11. What could go wrong? :)
WHAT WOULD YOU ADVISE TO DO DIFFERENTLY? :)

12. REVIEW OR CREATE TEAM AGREEMENTS

13. Basic contract to minimize frustration

14. Step 2 – Explorer Mode
OUR TASK IS "TO BE MODEST", EVEN IF (ESPECIALLY IF) YOU
THINK THAT YOU HAVE SOLVED THIS 100 TIMES AND EVERYTHING
IS OBVIOUS!

15. Observer & Explorer mode

16. Ginny question J
” If on the way home from
work you found an old
lamp and the magic Ginny
promised to fulfill any
wish?“

17. Key settings

18. Step 3 – Supporter Mode
WE SUPPORT, WE ADD ENERGY, WE DO NOT TAKE AWAY
RESPONSIBILITY

19. Supporter mode

20. Hersey-Blanchard
model, 7 levels of
delegation from M3.0,
stances of a good
Scrum Master, etc.)

21. The ”Product" approach works great

22. Step 4 – Working with resistance
NOT EVERYONE WILL SUPPORT AND WILL BE INVOLVED

23. Not everyone will support and will be involved J

24. Beckhardt's formula for change

25. Steps for dealing with resistance

26. And of course: Be a true Leader & Keep Learning!
• Lead by example
• Study constantly
• Workshops for the team
• Time to share knowledge
and experiment
