I deliberately seek input beyond my usual circle of trusted voices.

I know the hidden expertise in my organization: who knows what, regardless of title.

I have handed important work to an unexpected person as a fresh set of eyes.

I structure decisions to include diverse perspectives before finalizing.

I reward people who surface uncomfortable truths.

I ask the people closest to the work before deciding about the work.

I can name a recent decision that changed because of someone outside my inner circle.

I treat every level of the organization as a potential source of insight.

I expand the circle when stakes are high rather than tightening it.

I fight the comfort of relying on the same few people.
