When I first got promoted to technical leader and started hiring, I loved asking “tough” questions. One of my favourites was “What are your 3 strengths and 3 weaknesses”. Most of the candidates would struggle. They couldn’t give 3 answers and would perform poorly. I thought I did the smart thing and revealed the true character of the interviewees until one time I got an answer “My weakness is that I am afraid of coldness”. 

This happened to me when I was a Scrum Master in two different companies. In both scenarios, this happened not because the Scrum Team was doing a bad job, but because what we did not align with the strategy of the company. That’s how I learned to care about business as Scrum Master.
