You have a system problem. If your team feels chaotic, if you're constantly firefighting, if you keep asking, \"Why don't they just do what I told them to do?\" — this episode is going to sting a little. In Episode 122, Tammy J. Bond challenges leaders to confront a hard truth: You're not leading people — you're managing the mess you designed. From avoiding underperformance to silence that is mistaken for disengagement, Tammy breaks down how leaders unintentionally reinforce the very behaviors they say they don't want. Drawing on research from Edgar Schein, MIT Sloan, HBR, and real-world case studies, this episode is a wake-up call about culture, accountability, and follow-through. If you don't like what your team is producing, it's time to look at the system — and the leadership behaviors — that shaped it. The good news? If you designed it, you can redesign it.","meta_description":"You don't have a people problem. You have a system problem.
