“You should know better”. Maybe.
Maybe I’ve made the mistake before and should have learned.
Maybe I haven’t.
In which case now, post-mistake, not only should I know better, I must know better.
If I’m a leader, I’m also duty-bound to try to pass on to others the things I know better, based on my own mistakes.
That won’t always mean they know better.
But they will once they’ve made the mistake.
