<p>Nobody wakes up and decides to lower their standards. You make twelve reasonable exceptions over eighteen months — and one day you look up at a team you don&#39;t recognize, wondering when everyone stopped caring.</p><p><br></p><p>They didn&#39;t stop caring. They believed you.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, John Espinosa breaks down standards drift: how a rule dies without ever being broken, why every exception you made was defensible, and the three moves that catch it while it&#39;s still cheap to fix.</p><p><br></p><p>You&#39;ll learn THE DRIFT LINE:</p><p>1. Find the First Exception — the date your standard actually changed</p><p>2. Say It Out Loud. Once. — the exact sentence that resets it (and why an email won&#39;t)</p><p>3. Correct It the First Time — the eight seconds that cost you nothing</p><p><br></p><p>Plus the LEAD Framework tie-in: Listen, Envision, Align, Drive.</p><p><br></p><p>Get my coaching frameworks behind the scenes.
