Episode notes

Most leaders try to fix their team by fixing the people in it. What if that's only 20% of the equation?

As leaders navigate reorgs, AI rollouts, and endless development programs, Pollyanna argues most of them are missing the real lever: they were never trained to see or lead at the level of the system. Before your next big initiative, she offers one question worth asking first - are you strengthening the system your people work within, or just working on the people?
