The Rebirth Model - Learning to Love the Journey
All Scrum Masters yearn for their teams to become more effective agilists. It’s common for this yearning to turn into frustration when working with people who just don't get it. Before we know it, we’re speaking disparagingly about who we’re there to help - throwing our hands in the air, giving up and being unhappy in our roles.
News flash! ScrumMasters will, by definition, ALWAYS be in situations where the people around them haven’t mastered Scrum. When that stops being true, you’ll just be moved to another team that does need your help.
Here’s a model that was created together with Elena Aminova and presented at the 2023 Global Scrum Gathering that you can use to shed the stories holding you back, develop compassion for your team, link the work you’re doing now back to your life’s purpose, and rediscover that spark for your role as an agile change agent and love every day of your amazing journey.
