Really solid exploration of how boundaries shift based on context. The fasicsm comparison ties it together nicely because it shows how personal authority scales from everyday choices to collective resilience. Dealt with a client situation last month where I kept deferring to their prefrence even when it compromised the project, and recognizing that pattern was wild.
I absolutely loved the article. At home, we also have a little dog named Nieve, and from time to time we call her “Her Majesty,” because she truly seems to run the household. In the end, though, she’s just a 9-pound dog, and we can’t really expect too much from her.
As humans, however, I completely agree that being the boss is not an excuse to trample over others. On the contrary, it’s a reason to be more mindful of our actions, to lead by example, and to protect those around us.
