As leaders, we don’t break rules for the fun of it. We break rules when we understand the systems that created those rules -- and then, with careful thought and relentless resolve, we can bend that system to our will. We learned the rules. We know what we’re doing. And that’s why, when the time is right, we don’t follow them.
