SIX WEEKS / YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE

Your strengths belong in the examination too.

Experience helps you recognise patterns. Authority helps you act. Reputation helps people know what to expect.

Those same strengths can make some questions harder to ask—and some answers harder to hear.

You do not need to become less decisive. You need to see enough of the situation that decisiveness is not simply certainty repeating itself.

THE HIDDEN OBSTACLE

Your presence changes the people you’re trying to read.

When people know your preferences, your status or the consequences of disagreeing, what they show you may change. The information you receive is not always independent of your position.

Frontier uses Authority Distortion to name this set of risks: the ways expertise, authority and identity can narrow what you notice and what other people reveal.

THE APPROACH

A wider view before a faster answer.

When people know your preferences, your status or the consequences of disagreeing, what they show you may change. The information you receive is not always independent of your position.

The six-week sequence.

01

See Before You Know

Separate observation from interpretation. Examine one recurring judgement and test what else could explain the behaviour.

02

Power Degrades Human Data

Examine how information reaches you and where status, expectations or consequences may change what is revealed.

03

Stop Manufacturing the Evidence That Proves You Right

Trace a recurring interaction. Notice how your assumptions affect what you do and how other people respond.

04

Identity Debt

Examine the roles your success has rewarded. Recover choice around a strength that may have become difficult not to use.

05

Retain Choice When the Stakes Rise

Recognise what becomes unavailable under pressure. Practise making room for an additional, appropriate response.

06

Change the Unit of Value

Examine what becomes possible for other people because of your contribution—and what continues when you are not there.
