The Problem
The problem may not be that we're leading badly. It may be that we're leading from the wrong model – one built for machines, not for living, breathing organisations.
Strategy changes every quarter, but the org chart hasn't moved in years.
Engagement scores rise on paper while your best people disengage.
Teams are managed harder, not led better, and the exhaustion shows.
