Florian shares his experience of trying to single-handedly transform an entire IT service company, leading to what he calls the "superman scrum master syndrome." His story highlights the dangers of trying to be everywhere for everyone and create perfect change from the beginning.
Working with a coach, Florian recognized the warning signs of burnout - exhaustion, frustration, and the unhealthy need to control everything. His journey teaches us that sustainable change takes time, and it's perfectly acceptable for things not to be perfect from the start. The key insight is learning to pace yourself and accept that meaningful transformation is a gradual process, not a solo mission.
