Standards
A standard establishes a bright line for what is expected and acceptable.
Standards enable equal engagement in an activity.
They also create accountability for anyone who agrees to engage within the activity.
Your brain craves standards.
Without a standard, your mind is forced to think abstractly and without certainty.
A lack of certainty places an abundance of pressure on your cognitive load.
Standards, unreviewed, become constraining rules and hypocrisy.
Standards, unset, become vacuums for cognitive capacity.
Thoughtful leaders evaluate with frequency, and partake with consistency, in the standards they set.
