Writing as a Leadership System

Writing is not a side activity. It is an operating mechanism for leadership.
Why it works
Written proposals expose weak reasoning before execution starts. That saves expensive cycles later.
Three documents I keep active
- Product intent memo.
- Technical decision record.
- Weekly delivery notes.
If a team cannot explain decisions in writing, it usually cannot execute them consistently either.
