Vetinari and information-rich leadership

The reading shows Lord Vetinari handling a drunken stranger without losing control of the room or publicly escalating the encounter. He knows the recent performance, personnel problems, and even food quality of an obscure football club well enough to unsettle its supporter. That knowledge lets him redirect the man, protect him from immediate danger, and turn a potential affront into a managed political moment. The leadership rule drawn from the scene is that there is no such thing as having too much information.
