How Scrum Masters Can Learn from N'Golo Kante's Style of Play

As a Scrum Master, I am always looking for ways to improve my leadership skills and gain an edge in my role. That's why I look to N'Golo Kante, the French footballer, for inspiration on how to be great at what I do.

N'Golo Kante's tireless and selfless style of play on the field is something I strive to emulate in my work as a Scrum Master. Like Kante, I am responsible for facilitating the Scrum process, ensuring my team adheres to the Scrum framework, and removing any impediments that may hinder progress.

But what sets Kante apart is his unwavering work rate, his ability to cover a lot of ground, and his knack for disrupting the opposition's play with his tackles and interceptions. These are qualities that I try to instill in myself as a Scrum Master, always ready to go the extra mile and take on any challenge that comes my way.

Like Kante, I aim to be quick to spot any gaps or opportunities for improvement within my team and work diligently to address them. I organize daily stand-up meetings, sprint reviews, and retrospectives to ensure my team is on track and everyone has a clear understanding of the project goals.

But more than anything, what sets Kante apart is his selfless approach to the game. He puts the team first and is always looking for ways to support his teammates and contribute to their success. This is an attitude I try to cultivate in myself as a Scrum Master, always putting the team's needs above my own and providing the necessary support and guidance to achieve success.

In conclusion, N'Golo Kante's style of play on the soccer field serves as a great source of inspiration for me as a Scrum Master. By emulating his tireless work rate, his ability to disrupt the opposition's play, and his selfless approach to the game, I can gain an edge in my role and be great at what I do.
