Play by the same rules
Labels create maps.
The map is not the territory.
Labels belong on maps. Anytime you use a tag; you create a map for yourself.
Recognize, any map that you create also comes with your bias. If you feel like paper clips are useless, well, that comes baked into any map you create.
The minute you create a map, you create a rule set, because the moment you create a map, you create a “key” or “rules.”
If something has “rules,” it becomes a game, to me.
It is important to make sure that the label you use has the same standards within your tribe. Labels can look the same and have completely different rule sets.
Good communication/ leadership is clarifying those rule sets before confusion strikes.
