The first crack is the whole game

Boundaries rarely explode.

They erode.

The first crack is small.
It feels harmless.
You barely notice it.

And then six months later, you’re 15 feet past the line you swore you’d never cross.

Here’s the shift: the first exception is the whole game.

The line: “That’s not how we handle that. Let’s stick to the process.”

Get ahead of those first small cracks. You know your top five recurring boundary pushes. Pre-decide your responses.

If you catch the first crack early, you won’t need to rebuild later.
