Episode: #3599: Standards MUST Offend
Description: In this episode, I explain why your standards must offend some people. Standards are not preferences. They draw clear lines and exclude what doesn’t meet the level. If nobody feels uncomfortable or pushed away, then you don’t really have standards. I break down how real standards create pressure, and that pressure is what keeps the level high.
Show Notes:
[08:25]#1 A standard that offends is doing its job.
[13:32]#2 Misalignment is uncovered by offense faster than agreement.
[21:19]#3 Standards lose authority the moment they are softened for comfort.
