The Deadline That Became a Suggestion

Watch what happens to a deadline the Buddy does not enforce. The first miss gets a sympathetic nod. The second gets a quiet extension. By the third, it is not a deadline anymore. It is a suggestion, and everyone on the team has recalculated what his dates mean. Not because he announced a new policy. Because he taught one, one unaddressed miss at a time. The standard a leader holds is not the one in the plan. It is the one that survives the first person who tests it, and the Buddy fails that test with a smile.

Tomorrow: the Buddy from another angle.
