Jonno White's "7 Questions" series has now interviewed 1,400 leaders, and answering it made me actually write down something I'd never fully articulated: my team can do things where they might lose a metaphorical finger, but not a whole arm — and it's the coach's job to help them find that line. It's how I think about giving people enough rope to try new things without letting a mistake become fatal.

My favorite Dumbledore quote from Harry Potter line came up again in our chat too — choosing what's right over what's easy — because it's the one piece of fictional advice that's actually held up against thirty years of real decisions.
