Summary
Most leaders believe the chaos that breaks out when they leave is a people problem. In this episode of DarrenDaily On-Demand, Darren Hardy makes the case that it is almost never a people problem. It is a systems problem, and the leader built it. He draws on his own experience as a managing director in a previous company where he made himself the bottleneck on every decision, and contrasts that with a two-week private cycling trip through Tuscany he took with zero work contact while his business ran without a single fire. Darren also reveals the operating system components that make this kind of leadership liberation possible, and why the single most important mindset shift is accepting that solving is not serving.
