Name the ego, then decide

Ego control sounds like a reprimand. In this practice it is a line on the page. The preference of the founder, the chair, or the officer with the finished answer is written down as a preference. Then the room asks if it is also the next step. Both answers are allowed. Only one of them moves the ladder.

The embarrassment some rooms expect does not help the note. People hide a preference if they think it will be mocked, and a hidden preference comes back as a strategy they did not declare. Naming it is the control. Mocking it is a different meeting, and not this one.

Markus Edel will move a preference to this sheet rather than let it pass as strategy. That is the whole mechanism. It does not require a theory of personality. It requires a pencil and a chair who will sit inside the board while the line is written.
