When holding the standard leaves you standing alone

When the work isn't good enough, I'm the one who has to reject it and stop the line. Everybody feels the delay, and everybody knows it came from me. Being the person who holds the standard sounds noble until you're standing there alone, with the whole room wishing you'd just let it slide.

What we've seen

Being the one who holds the line and slows the work is a lonely place to stand.
