- A tricky policy question gets a clear answer you can explain to the whole team
- A small business gets the loan it needs because you found a fair way to assess it
Hard days
- The sales team wants a rule relaxed to hit a target and you are the one saying no
- A tool you rely on gives a result you cannot yet explain
- A long standing customer starts to struggle and the policy gives you little room
