I connect daily decisions back to the strategy.
I can distinguish between a true strategic priority and a pressing distraction.

I bring the right people into decisions at the right time.
I revisit and adjust decisions when the evidence changes.

I notice the impact I have on a room.
I can name my biases and how they shape my judgments.

I can deliver difficult messages without eroding the relationship.
I tell a coherent story about where we are going and why it matters.
