Generosity compounds when it is chosen. It decays when it becomes silent resentment.
Helping every person with every problem turns you into an unpriced support desk. Good operators help in ways that build capability instead of dependency.
A boundary can be generous if it keeps the relationship clean. "I can review the plan once, but I cannot become the owner" is better than saying yes and resenting the person later.
Operator artifact: keep three boundary scripts ready: what I can give, what I cannot absorb, and what you need to own next.
Field test: Define what you can give, what you cannot absorb, and what the other person must own.
This is part 4 of 10 in Influence Without Manipulation.
