We’ve all seen it: A manager is up against a deadline and they blurt out, "Just get it done!" And while they probably didn't mean "break the law"—but, to a stressed-out employee, this ambiguity is basically a Choose Your Own Adventure book with a bunch of bad endings.

This job aid lets them skip straight to the good ending. The say-this-not-that format shows managers exactly how to build healthy pressure—giving them a proven formula and scripts for those sticky situations so they don't accidentally trigger a series of sketchy decisions.

It turns "winning at any cost" into winning the right way by removing the guesswork. Because in real life, they can’t just start the story over.

Empower your employees to recognize unhealthy pressure and flip the script with the companion job aid, Feeling pressure to bend the rules?
