The basics of being a ScrumMaster are fairly straightforward: At face value all a ScrumMaster needs to do is facilitate the Scrum process and remove impediments. But being a great ScrumMaster, one who truly embodies the principles of servant-leadership and helps move a team to the high performance levels possible with Scrum, is much harder and much more elusive. 
In this book Geoff shares a collection of stories and practical guidance, drawn from over ten years of coaching numerous Scrum teams that will guide you on your path to greatness.
In this book you will learn:
<li>The skills and characteristics of great ScrumMasters</li>
<li>How to generate, maintain and increase engagement from the team</li>
<li>How to increase the effectiveness of the Scrum meetings, such as retrospectives and daily scrums.</li>
<li>How to foster a more creative and collaborative team</li>
<li>How to increase the performance of the team</li>
<li>How to know when you are a successful ScrumMaster</li>
Scrum Mastery is for practicing ScrumMasters who want to develop themselves into a great servant-leader capable of taking their teams beyond simple process compliance.
Mike Cohn, in his foreword for the book, said:
"Most books rehash well-trod territory and I don’t finish them any wiser. I am positive I will be referring back to this book for many years" 
Roman Pichler said:
"I am thoroughly impressed with how comprehensive and well-written the book is. It will be indispensable for many people"

2016 International Book Awards WINNER!"A coaching necessity" "A fabulous coaching book and a real must-have" "Reading this book is like being a coach, a client, a supervisor, a student of coaching, and in relationship with all of those people all at once! It also achieves that remarkable thing, and rare, of being both friendly and rigorous, gentle and challenging, calm and pacey. Its ingenious structure provides an instantly digestible feast of learning. It is a triumph! But who would expect anything less from these two extraordinary, pioneering, brilliant coaches?" 
 -- Nancy Kline, bestselling author of Time to ThinkOur strengths can become our weaknesses. Our traits and habitual behaviours can become traps. In each chapter of The Coach's Casebook the reader follows a skilled coach working with a client who is struggling with one of the twelve traits which every coach will face in their coaching work - traits such as people pleasing, perfectionism, impostor syndrome, performance anxiety and procrastination. 
In each of the case studies in The Coach's Casebook, the coach shares their emotions, their thought processes and their reflections from coaching supervision as they try to understand the psychological origins of these behaviours and to work out how to help their client. 
This book is a great book for leadership development and has been used extensively for executive leadership for results but is above all designed to help you improve your coaching practice. It gives you practical, tried and tested techniques which you can use today to improve your coaching habits and coaching practice to help your clients to change the habits of a lifetime.
Both Kim and Geoff are thought leaders in business coaching and mentoring as well as coaching supervision and use this book to explain the key coaching principles in their coaching practice to help you develop great coaching habits.

IN DIESEM BUCH WERDEN SIE FOLGENDE DINGE LERNEN:  Die Kompetenzen und Eigenschaften großartiger ScrumMaster Wie man das Engagement des Teams weckt, aufrechterhält und stärkt Wie man die Effektivität der Scrum Meetings steigert Wie man ein kreativeres und besser zusammenarbeitendes Team schafft Wie man die Leistung des Teams steigert Woran man erkennt, dass man ein erfolgreicher ScrumMaster ist  Scrum Mastery ist für alle praktizierenden ScrumMaster, die großartige Servant Leader werden möchten, um ihre Teams über die Grenzen der reinen Prozesseinhaltung hinauszuführen.  Mike Cohn schreibt in seinem Vorwort für dieses Buch: "Die meisten Bücher wärmen nur altbekanntes Wissen wieder auf und ich bin kein Stück klüger, nachdem ich sie gelesen habe. Ich glaube, dass ich dieses Buch noch viele Jahre zu Rate ziehen werde.“  Roman Pichler meint:  "Ich bin wirklich beeindruckt, wie gut und verständlich dieses Buch geschrieben ist. Es wird für viele Menschen unentbehrlich werden.“
