## Author notes / illustrative keys where applicable

1. An unclear priority identifies which direction people cannot yet apply after the leadership change. Clarify the actual priority and relevant decision owner.
2. A changed decision process reveals which responsibilities or consultation steps need explanation during leadership transition. Clarify actual arrangements, without assuming a different process indicates poor leadership or collecting confidential decision content.
3. A requested explanation identifies what the leader should communicate first, such as responsibilities or decision criteria. Verify the arrangement before publishing guidance.

Interpretation caution: Do not treat early impressions as outcomes.
