About this listen

Scrum Masters don’t exist to “run ceremonies” — they exist to build high-performing teams and make that performance repeatable. Steve unpacks the mindset, mechanics, and measures that turn a good team into a consistently great one. Using the Formula 1 pit-stop and orchestra/conductor analogies, you’ll learn how to create flow through clarity, cadence, and connection — and how to engineer those conditions in real product and service teams.

What you’ll learn

  • How to remove the three performance killers: external constraints, internal constraints, and culture.

  • Escalating with evidence, not emotion (simple stakeholder system that gets action).

  • Curiosity and root-cause habits to stop repeat failures.

  • Practical culture levers for remote/hybrid teams (trust, accountability, psychological safety).

  • A metrics toolkit (OKRs, cycle time, lead time, happiness) to prove impact before/after.

Your mission should you choose to accept, is to build a high-performing team in 12 weeks with Steve’s 5-Day High-Performing Team Challenge. Resources & next steps
