I notice fatigue at the end of the day yet still reserve judgment to avoid being “too much.”

I rely on personal endurance to cover gaps rather than creating constraints for the system.

I override intuitive prompts to move faster because I worry the team will label it impulsive.

I am the default escalations path, and I rarely redirect ownership back to the accountable lead.

I collect input from many voices but hesitate to close the loop, which keeps the decision open longer than intended.

I sense when a move is right yet default to more analysis to justify it, creating drag.
