“We guard the work because we think the work is us.”

The Corporate Artist · Chapter 3 · page 27

What do you think this passage means?

Notice the response

What does your first response emphasise? Select any lenses that help you examine it. These are your observations, not a diagnosis or an automated score.

A pause is a little room to look again.

Recognition does not erase the pattern.
It creates another possible move.

Read it again

Return to the same passage. What did your first response leave out? What other interpretation is possible? What would you keep?

Bring it back to work.

Where are you guarding an idea because criticism of the work might feel like criticism of you? What could another person contribute if you shared it?
