You’ll know you led well when people do the right thing in a situation you never trained them for.

Rules only cover what somebody thought of in advance. What carries into a new situation is judgment, and judgment is caught more than taught. If people have watched you decide fairly when it was inconvenient, they have something to reason from once the rulebook runs out. That is the real test, and it happens when you are nowhere nearby.

Rather than adding another rule this week, explain one decision you made and what you were weighing, including what you gave up. Then let somebody handle the next odd situation without calling you. Ask afterwards how they thought it through.
