Reading the works of those 2 people are certainly worthy, as are works by Geoff Watts, Lyssa Adkins, Jean Tabaka, Mike Cohn, and others. I mentored with Schwaber fairly closely for several years. I can say from experience that while having a programming background is a strong asset for Scrum Masters, not having one is not a show stopper nor does it preclude one from being a very successful Scrum Master. There are many critical skills desired and needed outside of technical competence. I can say that understanding programming is critical and a great Scrum Master will learn the fundamentals of programming. <div><br></div><div>Servant leadership requires many attributes (see <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.greenleaf.org">www.greenleaf.org</a>) a
nd by definition it is leading through moral authority rather than positional authority. Empathy is a big part, as is understanding of the operation of the roles of people. I liken it to being a pitching coach in baseball; it's hard to coach pitchers if you have never pitched and it is even harder to gain the moral authority necessary of a pitching coach if the people you are coaching know you have never pitched. </div><div><br></div><div>Working under pressure and "unsupported physical surroundings" would be front and center in a great Scrum Master's radar and he would help with the first and get rid of the second. I know that from experience, too. I never worried about a "career path." I did worry about the people I s
erved. Rewards will come to those who serve others well and who really care about them. </div><div><br></div><div>That's my simple wisdom from 15 years of Scrum Mastering experience. I hope it helps. </div>
