Marker 10: Discernment Is Good

You don’t need to know everything. But you do need to know what’s real.


Discernment Is the Leader’s Superpower

We live in a world of endless input.
Noise. Opinions. Tactics. Trends.


But the ones who win long-term?
They’re not the smartest.
They’re the ones who can see clearly.


Discernment Isn’t Judgmental. It’s Just Accurate.

Discernment means:
  • You can tell what’s urgent vs. important.
  • You can spot a red flag before it becomes a crisis.
  • You can feel when someone’s not aligned, even if their resume looks great.

It’s pattern recognition.
It’s experience layered with instinct.


You Can Train It. But You Have to Use It.

Listen more.
Speak later.
Ask better questions.
Don’t override your gut just because you’re tired or afraid.
