Summary
I explain why most standards and rules get ignored, even when they seem clear and well-defined. The problem is usually not the rule itself. It's that nobody is enforcing it. I've seen organizations spend more time reminding people about standards than actually applying them, which makes compliance optional. In this episode, I break down why enforcement, not reminders, is what makes a standard real. Show Notes: [04:14]#1 Leaders avoid short term discomfort. [08:35]#2 Inconsistency undermines authorities. [13:54]#3 There is no cost for non compliance. [17:32] Recap Next Steps: --- Execution is not a talent. It is a standard. If your results don’t match your ability, something in your approach is out of alignment. Most people do not have a motivation problem. They have a consistency problem. Power Presence is the system for operating with greater discipline, clarity, structure, and execution under pressure.
