WHAT THIS MEANS

As your reach grows, your errors land on more people, which means the internal weight of them should grow too. Position tends to insulate you from feeling that, since you rarely see the consequence directly and someone else usually absorbs it. The insulation is comfortable and corrosive.

Go and look at the effect of a decision you made, at the point where it actually lands. Not a report about it, the thing itself. It recalibrates how carefully you decide next time.
