Leaders Feel the Consequences

A decision creates cost, risk, or gain for people in a group. Where people decide and where costs land can separate. - Incentives favor visible wins over visible cost - In large settings, effects land unevenly - Distance makes harm easier to miss - Pushing pain downhill is easier Those who decide stay tied to what their choices do to others. If we called it, we sit with the fallout. Leaders feel the consequences on this; we're not sliding the pain down a layer.
