Have you ever wondered how some of the people at Agile conferences know everyone? Or how someone got so many Twitter followers? A lot of it is about being savvy in social media and building your brand. In a series of posts I will detail some of my ideas around personal branding and get some contributions from others in the Agile community who are doing it right.

Can Companies be Servant Leaders?

Wikipedia states that servant leadership is both a leadership philosophy and set of leadership practices. Traditional leadership generally involves the accumulation and exercise of power by one at the “top of the pyramid.” By comparison, the servant-leader shares power, puts the needs of others first and helps people develop and perform as highly as possible.

When we refer to servant leadership in Scrum it is at the team level. A ScrumMaster is the servant leader for the Scrum team. They do all the steps the definition above refers to and more. This is all great for the Scrum team, but what about everyone else, the ScrumMasters included? Who is their servant leader? Can companies step in and supplement for this role?
