You've done this job two hundred times. You know which steps matter and which ones feel like overkill. The new guy doesn't. He doesn't see a shortcut. He sees the standard.

Today's focus: Your experience can blind them.

When you skip a step because you've got fifteen years of context, they skip it because you did. They don't have your instincts. They just have your example.

One thing to do today: Pick the step you're most likely to skip. Do it anyway. Do it visibly.

What looks routine to you looks like permission to them.

Forward this to someone who needs it today.
