do's and don'ts for Scrum Master

The SM should NEVER tell the team what to do but rather facilitate with
Asking why?
Did this work for you?
What do you think?
Have you thought about?

The team must learn to see their failures and recognize them early. This is the principal of fail fast. Jeffrey Sutherland prefers weekly sprints to allow fast failures and quick adaptation to issues.

To reaffirm, the SM should not make decisions for the team, but instead help the team make the right decision. The SM must also create a safe environment allowing the team to fail,

Fail fast and fail safely.
