If you were a military general ordered to execute a mission you believed would fail and cost lives, what do you do?

Prioritize the one thing you can't undo later. Everything else is reversible.

Honestly, Depends entirely on which generation will judge you. Think 20 years, not 20 days.

Neither. Find the third option. False binaries kill leadership.

No contest — Lead with the hard truth. Respect comes from honesty, not comfort.

Step back. Let the system work. Overreach is the most common leadership failure.
