Scrum master... "show" and "clear" the way, not "direct" the way

One problem I see more often than not is when scrum masters and PMs start directing a team rather than showing and clearing the way for the team. A team is a unit that works on a target. When PMs or SMs start directing the way, they are removing the element of self organizing, which is a key element in agile software development.

In summary, to all SMs and PMs ... Show and clear the way/path for the team to do what it needs to do.

A team can do the work :)
