Kun execution rule: use Southwest and Northeast to sustain the system; deploy West and Northwest when it is time to gain leverage, claim authority, or bring others with you.
Personality and strategy
Support must not become self-erasure.
Kun’s receptivity is a strategic asset when it creates structure. It becomes a liability when caution blocks experimentation, loyalty ignores capacity, or excellent work remains invisible.
