Watch how you act the first time you have a little power. Team captain, shift lead, oldest at home. That’s character data.

How you behave the first time you are slightly in charge is unusually revealing, because there is no practice sitting behind it. Shift lead, team captain, oldest one at home: a small amount of authority with almost no oversight, and what you do with it comes straight out of your defaults. Fairness, showing off, or quietly avoiding the job entirely. The scale is small and the information is not.

If you get a version of that this week, pick one standard in advance and keep it, such as never handing somebody else the worst task. Ask one person afterwards how it looked from their side.
