It happens that the Leader comes to the existing team and with good intentions begins to build relationships with people around but do it not in the best way. We will discuss a few examples, and Artem will share ideas and some tools of change leader (Scrum Master / Agile Coach / Consultant) aimed at not harming and to build a good relationship and trust, which will be the foundation for further change in processes and results.

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?“

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!

and experiment
