No matter what job you’re working, communication is key when it comes to creating a high-preforming team. As a scrum master, along with guiding your team through difficult technical situations, it’s your job to properly guide them through social and emotional situations as well, fostering an environment of humility, transparency, confidence and trust. Growth doesn’t happen inside the comfort zone, so sometimes you have to be willing to push yourself and your team into challenging circumstances such as conflict-resolution, admitting mistakes and weaknesses, and bridging gaps with empathy. Being a scrum master is sort of a pseudo-role, as you’re asked to act as a leader, psychologist, facilitator, coach and whatever else is necessary to progress your team. In the end, however, the ultimate goal of a scrum master should be to “not be needed”. Creating a team that is so high-preforming that they no longer require your guidance is what separates the good scrum masters from the greats. In today’s podcast, we sit down with scrum master, Adam Miner and break down the art of scrum through topics such as navigating conflict, building teams as relationships, leading in a remote world, and trying new things.
Our Speaker: Adam Miner
Baseball has always been his passion, and when it comes to being a scrum master, Adam Miner hits a home run. With a background in athletics, majoring in biology and starting his career in finance, Adam’s route to becoming a scrum master in IT product management is less than conventional. However, Adam’s unique experiences have allowed him to draw many parallels between high-performing sports and corporate teams and has molded how he treats others as a leader today. We are proud to introduce Adam Miner.
