There was a time when leadership meant something different. When phrases like “the buck stops here” weren’t just punchlines but personal commitments. When mentorship wasn’t a luxury but a responsibility. When leading by example was a baseline, not an exception. Lately, I’ve been sitting with the absence of that kind of leadership.

Would you ever hire a Junior CISO or a Junior Financial Director ? Of course not. These positions, by definition, require demonstrated mastery of their respective domains, alongside the authority and responsibility to enact meaningful change. The same should be true of a Scrum Master. The idea of a “junior” Scrum Master is a fallacy. The Scrum Master is not an entry-level position, nor is it something that should be handed out as a career stepping stone.

Where do we actually stand? This question echoes through project teams regularly—sometimes with a slight note of panic, often right before a steering committee meeting or when the open task list starts to feel like a bottomless pit.

According to a 2024 survey of project managers , just 40% of teams capture post-project lessons learned. While some people might think this number seems high ( who has time to reflect when you’ve got a never ending list of tasks and projects to get started on? ) the reality is that: If you’re not reviewing, learning, and acting on your project outcomes, you’re at risk of falling behind the high-performing teams that are.

Talk about your character-building experience. I was a young hot-shot project manager on an engagement that I had sold to a client. I had it all planned out and had delusions of completely delighting my client with an issue-free project. It all seemed so simple, then the project started.and never finished. I'll spare you the gory details of my harrowing experience but what I can tell you is that I put more focus on selling and planning the project than I did on its execution.
