- Topics: [[Leadership]] --- - The role of a guardian is not to preserve what was, but to protect the possibility of what could be. - Guardians ask, "What's best?". Gatekeepers ask, "What was best?". Gatekeepers protect entry. Guardians protect evolution. Guardians protect possibility, not history - a legacy defined by what's to come, not by what has already happened. - Serve progress, not precedent. Protect the soul, not the shell. When we cling to what we think was best, we may suffocate what could have been better.
