The Safety Net

The team runs most of the day without you — but you are the one who catches what others miss. When something is about to go wrong, you notice first, and everyone has learned to rely on that.

Being the safety net feels responsible. It also quietly keeps the load on you, because the team never has to develop the judgement you keep supplying.

The next move is to see where that catching is happening, so the judgement can be encoded rather than carried.
