Bend the Rules, Don't Break the Spirit

Summary

While bending the rules sometimes requires defiance to push past fabricated boundaries, it should never come at the cost of breaking our spirit, well‐being, and the purpose behind our mission. To bend the rules is not to disregard them but to understand them and apply them with discernment when necessary. It means recognizing when conventional approaches are no longer serving us. Bending the rules is a strategic endeavor, not an act of rebellion. It's a deliberate process of examining and reinterpreting the norms that govern us to move beyond our comfort zone. However, striking a balance between ambition and well‐being is paramount. As leaders, we must navigate change without compromising our well‐being, our company's integrity, or the morale of our teams. The goal is to inspire change and build resilience while safeguarding the health and spirit of ourselves and those we lead.
