You walk in, you stand, you ask, you leave.
The saying internally was you get two minutes.
The second is a courtesy.
The chairs in her office were for decoration, not sitting.
No sitting meant no settling.
No chit-chat meant no waste.
Every interaction became a transaction.
The glass walls weren't about surveillance, they were about accessibility.
Anna could catch an editor's eye and assign a task without leaving her desk.
One editor realized Anna called on her constantly simply because her office was in the sightline.

Architecture is destiny.
Design your environment to eliminate friction between thought and action.
Then came Anna's masterstroke, AWOC.
Her initials plus OK became a verb.
Is that AWOCed yet?
Nothing.
Not a caption, not a photo, not a comma moved without her approval.
This wasn't micromanagement.
It was standards transformation.
