THROUGH RULES TO EXPERTISE

Rules—our lives are full of rules. Some of the rules are our own. We set rules about things that we care about which establish our values and enable us to build and stabilize our lives. Then there are the rules that we have grown up with—rules that our parents, teachers, leaders, etc. have presented to us as the way things operate at home, at school, business, etc. The rules that they invent and impose are rules that express their values. Then there are the rules at work in the organizations that we work in. These are the rules that we have to follow to keep our jobs and get our pay.
