Decision under normative constraint.

YOU LEAD LEGAL FOLLOWS YOU EXECUTE
This corpus

Lead or Follow is a doctrinal corpus on the executive governance of normative power within organisations. It starts from a simple observation: a strategy is decided, then diverted, bypassed or replaced in the name of legal constraint. The core work concerns decision-making under normative constraint.

The two corpus
The framework
YOU LEAD The executive holds the strategy
LEGAL FOLLOWS Legal follows the strategy
YOU EXECUTE The decision is held in reality

The norm does not decide. It is governed. Legal does not decide. It follows the strategy. Otherwise, it follows something else.
