We will not find wisdom by parsing the Scrum Guide. After all, they have changed it massively again and again - even the SM role has been hugely redefined eight times (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/scrum-very-confused-leadership-cliff-berg/). So those guys clearly don't know what it should be.

But there is a huge field of data and theory that explains what kinds of leadership is needed on teams. That theory and data is far, far more useful and insightful than either the SAFe rules or the Scrum Guide.

E.g., I would point to Nicole Forsgren's book "Acclerate", which has a chapter on leadership. In that book she documents here data which show that _transformational leadership_ (not servant leadership) is the model to follow.

We need to stop treating Scrum as if it is definitive and authoritative. It is not.
