The Problem

Guide vs Drive Under Pressure

When pressure rises, you do not announce that you are taking over. You just do it.

A deadline tightens. Silence lingers. A decision feels risky.

You answer before your team does. You escalate just to be safe. You step in because it feels faster.

It feels responsible. It quietly trains dependency.

The Cost of Inaction

  • Driving becomes tolerated behavior.
  • Tolerance becomes culture.
  • Culture shapes performance.
  • Performance becomes dependent on you.
