It argues that the Scrum Master role embodies servant leadership by serving the team rather than commanding it. As a servant leader, the Scrum Master helps the team achieve its own goals by removing impediments and fostering an empowering environment. In contrast, command-and-control leadership can have negative consequences like decreased quality and well-being. The document advocates for self-organization and self-management, where the team organizes itself in an optimal way and manages its own processes, as this approach best enables teams of skilled individuals to do their creative work.
