Accepting a bad call and playing the next point is a skill. It’s the same one you’ll need for bad bosses.

LEADERSHIP

WHAT THIS MEANS

Unfairness you cannot reverse is going to keep arriving, and the only part you control is how much of the next minute it takes with it. Arguing a call that has already been made does not change the call, it just hands the next point away too. The skill is letting the loss stand and keeping your attention where it can still do something.

When something lands wrong this week, give yourself a short fixed window to be annoyed, then go back to work. Saying nothing is not the same as agreeing. It only means the next point mattered more to you.
