Everyday Is an Interview
In leadership, there is a phrase that carries weight far beyond preference or popularity.
Reasonable and prudent.
It is not about being agreeable. It is about being responsible.
A reasonable person considers the facts before reacting.
A prudent person anticipates the consequences before deciding.
But here is where standards truly live.
The reasonable and prudent professional makes the difficult decision when avoiding it would be easier. They initiate the uncomfortable conversation when silence would feel safer. They handle the task no one wants to do because it needs to be done.
Standards are not tested when decisions are easy. They are tested when the room is quiet, and everyone knows something must be addressed.
Would a reasonable leader ignore that performance issue?
Would a prudent supervisor postpone that hard conversation?
Would a responsible professional wait for someone else to step up?
If the answer is no, then the standard is clear.
Being reasonable and prudent requires courage. It means choosing long-term integrity over short-term comfort. It means protecting the mission, even when it costs you ease or popularity.
Every day is an interview.
Leadership is not measured by what you avoid. It is measured by what you address.
“The reasonable and prudent professional does the hard thing because it is the right thing.”
