## Resource

In this episode, Perry Holley and Chris Goede explore the concept of hands-on leadership and what it truly means for executives. They explain how strong leaders act as teachers and system architects, focusing on empowering teams rather than micromanaging. They discuss the importance of obsessing over metrics that customers value and architecting workflows that push decisions closer to the front lines. Listeners gain practical strategies for coaching their teams, building systems that perform without direct supervision, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
