Two people on your team used to butt heads constantly. Now they don't. You figure it worked itself out.

But it actually didn't. It just went underground.

None of this comes from bad intent. It comes from never having a reason to check.

So here's one of five self-audit questions worth sitting with: if you listed every job assignment you made in the last month, would the distribution look fair to an outside observer?
