Scrum Mastery isn’t just about running ceremonies or removing blockers — it’s about leadership. In this latest deep dive episode, Steve explores the critical shift from servant leadership to strategic leadership, showing how Scrum Masters can move beyond being seen as facilitators to becoming recognised leaders who influence, inspire, and drive high-performing teams. You’ll discover why soft skills are the hardest — and most valuable — part of the role. Learn how to build authority without a job title, influence leaders without formal power, and communicate with presence and confidence. Steve shares practical, real-world examples and 7 actionable tips you can apply straight away, including how to ask powerful questions, use silence to your advantage, run retrospectives that deliver measurable outcomes, and surface patterns that leaders can’t ignore. Whether you’re a new Scrum Master or an experienced agile professional, this episode will give you the tools, mindset, and strategies to step into your role as a true leader of change. If you’ve ever felt invisible, undervalued, or “just another Scrum Master,” this session will give you the clarity, confidence, and skills to be seen, heard, and respected.
