🚨 A mistake happened once... so now we have a rule for life 🙃
Not a fix. Not a conversation. Just a brand new rule for everyone... Forever.
One person left the door open → Badge scans required everywhere
One email went to the wrong person → 17-step email approval workflow
One customer got a discount they shouldn't → Finance must approve every quote
The problem? That mistake probably won’t happen again.
But now you've slowed everyone down. Forever.
Instead of fixing the 1%, you punished the 99%.
Let’s stop adding friction and start trusting humans again. (Maybe take a breath and a coffee before writing a 10-page policy ☕)
