“I got the promotion and I want to name everyone who got me here.”

CTL · Pillar III — Control CTL-VII · Own Only What Is Yours.

The title is yours, but you know it was never yours alone. Owning only what is yours cuts both ways: take honest credit for your work, and give back, plainly, the parts that belonged to others. A man who can do both is safe to follow.

Your Practice

  1. Name the one thing you actually did that earned this. Own it without shrinking.
  2. Name three people whose work you stood on. Tell each of them today, specifically.
  3. Refuse the inflation - do not let the win grow into a story bigger than the truth.
  4. Write what this role is yours to govern now, and what still is not.
