The High-Standards Leader Without Structure

You hold a high bar — and the business runs on you keeping it. Quality, output, judgement: all of it is downstream of your attention. The team cannot meet a standard they cannot see written down.

High standards are an asset, not a flaw. The flaw is that they haven't yet been encoded as systems your team can run without you.

The next move is to see where meetings are doing the work that should live in process. That is where the leverage hides.
