Back to the universal principles
Calibration
Under, just right, over.
| Situation | Under | Just Right | Over |
|---|---|---|---|
| A bad week | Goes dark, or snaps, and leaves the team to guess how bad it is. | Names the hard part, stays decent to people, and points at the next useful step. | Insists everyone act upbeat and treats a worried question as bad attitude. |
| Celebrating a real win | Moves straight to the next problem and the win disappears. | Names who did it and what was hard, briefly, then gets back to work. | Celebrates so long that the unfinished work becomes someone else's emergency. |
| Support for someone struggling | Leaves them alone because you do not want to make it awkward. | Offers a specific help, takes a piece if you can, and still expects the work to get done. | Takes the work away permanently and calls that support. |
| Staying positive about a miss | Pretends the miss did not happen so the mood stays light. | Says the miss plainly and keeps the tone one a person can work in. | Dwells on the miss until the room cannot function. |
| Credit in the room | Lets the win pass with no names, so people feel invisible. | Gives the credit where the work happened, in front of the team. | Performs gratitude that praises everyone and informs no one. |
| Positivity that hides the problem | Uses optimism to avoid saying the project is off track. | Stays constructive and still puts the risk on the table the day you know it. | Polices tone so carefully that bad news arrives late. |
