Arif Bobat on why sometimes you need to get fired as a Scrum Master

Working with a team that had very little going for them, Arif tried his best. He tried to raise awareness of the problem, he tried to help the team improve, he raised obstacles to management. Was that enough? Listen in as Arif describes his journey in an impossible situation, and explains why – sometimes – you need to get fired as a Scrum Master otherwise you are not doing your job!

In this episode, we discuss the GROW model of coaching.
