The 8 career trap: power without boundaries
If you’re always on, your health and relationships become the hidden cost.
Boundary scripts:
- “I’m available during these hours. Outside of that, I’m offline.”
- “If you want urgency, we need more resources (or we reduce scope).”
- “I can lead this, but I need decision rights and a clear success metric.”
A simple 90-day plan
Weeks 1–2: define the target (one KPI) and the constraints (time, budget, people).
Weeks 3–6: build the system (process, roles, cadence).
Weeks 7–10: raise performance (training, feedback, accountability).
Weeks 11–12: review and scale (what to repeat, what to cut).
