Really like the “intensity dial” lens. It maps closely to how leadership involvement also needs calibration. Too much intensity becomes pressure, too little becomes drift. I recently explored a similar idea through a micromanagement calibration matrix https://leadershipology.substack.com/p/you-could-be-micromanaging
I've been on the receiving end of the dial being turned too fast in the past.
My 1-on-1s with my manager felt great circa 2022. They felt so good, I decided to approach with him with my plan for a promotion.
He reacted very negatively. I was surprised he thought I was doing so poorly. That said, once I calmed down I was able to get out him specific improvements he wanted to see form me. I wish it had been more gradual, but it did kick my butt in gear.

Very helpful article!
When I read this, this is the metaphor I had in my mind for engineering brains, from Apollo 13: lunar entry.
Too intense, too steep, burn too quick. Too gentle, skim off, be delayed or land somewhere else.
