Diagnosis
Roles are assignments. They are not a soul. Military, corporate, stage — same trap. When the uniform comes off you meet the person who was wearing it. That meeting is the work.
Protocol
- 1List roles you would still respect if the titles vanished.
- 2Write a one-sentence standard for how you treat people when nobody can promote you.
- 3Do one hour of unpaid, unposted work that matches that sentence.
The standard: Character first. Roles second. Audience last.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”
2 Corinthians 5:17
