Teach It Forward

The clearest sign you have mastered something is being able to hand it to someone else. When you mentor a colleague through a feedback habit, your own system gets sharper from explaining it, and you quietly build a reputation as a leader. One invested hour, two returns.

Hand over what works: your journal format, sharper questions, and quarterly cycle. Then watch what happens around you. When feedback flows freely, problems surface early instead of festering, and you become known as the person who made that possible.
