Where does your loyalty lie? Are you dedicated to your team and team members' happiness or are you too worried about what your manager thinks?
How can you get management to accept that a Scrum team makes its own rules and essentially governs itself? What if management cannot accept this?
Are your team members able to focus? Or are they being pulled in too many directions?
Are you completely focused on your team? Laptops closed, mobile phone off? Undivided attention? Observe yourself. Give your team your full attention; ask them to respect each other and do the same. If the meetings are taking too long, discuss ways of shortening.
When is the next opportunity for you to share something with your team that they may not expect? Maybe it's something you learned from a management meeting that you feel your team might be interested to know. Perhaps the product owner keeps stopping by your desk to discuss user stories and you feel the team might like to be pulled into that conversation. Start breaking down barriers to visibility and free communication. Identify these small opportunities that make large strides in openness and trust.
