Examples Accumulate
A leader reacts to a mistake, competing pressures, or unclear ground in a shared setting.
People need to know what counts as OK. Clear rules are missing or thin.
- People watch others when things are unclear
- What people see moves faster than written rules
- Early reactions set what feels allowed
- Silence and emphasis both send a signal
What the leader does—especially under pressure—quickly sets what others treat as acceptable.
Careful what we model in the room; examples accumulate faster than anything we post on the wiki.
