\"I’ve been so focused on delivering that I stopped asking

This real talk with a client was admirable, honest, and common.

I see it repeatedly in high-performing teams: the pace of execution quietly replaces the discipline of evaluation.

We stop asking the hard questions not because we don't care, but because something else is always more "urgent."

But drift doesn't happen in dramatic moments; it happens in quiet ones.
A standard slightly lowered.
A perspective ignored.
A core value traded for a quick result.

Executive burnout rarely happens overnight. It is the result of a long series of small, unchecked decisions that felt reasonable at the time.
The antidote isn't more hustle. It is ruthless, regular evaluation.
