====== ETHIC Loop: Daily Ritual for Ethical, Scalable Culture ======

A 15-minute daily practice to align leadership behavior with ethical, scalable systems. Designed to surface blind spots, reinforce cultural integrity, and enable decentralization through clarity and trust.

===== Purpose =====
To embed ethical leadership into daily practice by creating space for vulnerability, systemization, and real-time course correction. The ETHIC Loop helps leaders operationalize culture as a scalable asset.

===== Structure =====

Each step takes ~3 minutes. Can be done individually or as part of a team leadership ritual.

==== E — Expose ====
- Prompt: “What truth did I avoid saying or acting on today?”
- Purpose: Surfaces hidden misalignments, repressed tensions, or inconvenient insights.
- Practice: Write one unfiltered sentence. No judgment.

==== T — Transfer ====
- Prompt: “What system, ritual, or documentation could carry this truth forward?”
- Purpose: Prevents leadership bottlenecks by embedding truths into scalable containers.
- Practice: Identify a way to externalize the insight (e.g., SOP, wiki page, team habit).

==== H — Honor ====
- Prompt: “Who needs to feel seen, trusted, or empowered today?”
- Purpose: Prevents ethical drift by humanizing leadership decisions.
- Practice: Reach out, acknowledge contribution, or explicitly delegate trust.

==== I — Initiate ====
- Prompt: “What conversation or build-out am I avoiding because it’s messy?”
- Purpose: Forces movement where inertia hides behind complexity.
- Practice: Schedule or trigger that action immediately, even if imperfect.

==== C — Cut ====
- Prompt: “What am I over-controlling or endlessly tweaking?”
- Purpose: Frees energy from false control loops and perfection paralysis.
- Practice: Declare the system or decision ‘good enough’—ship, delegate, or shelve.
