A draw can represent two people refusing to make the mistake the other needs.

LEADERSHIP

WHAT THIS MEANS

Some outcomes that look like nothing happened are the result of two people playing well. A draw between careful opponents means neither could be tempted into the error the other was waiting for, which is a different achievement from a win and takes just as much attention. Not everything that ends level ended in a stalemate of effort.

When something you were involved in resolves without a clear result, resist reading it as failure. Ask instead what error you avoided and how you avoided it, since that is a repeatable skill and winning is often just the other person’s mistake arriving on time.
