🟪 The Thesis

THE PROBLEM ISN'T PEOPLE.
it's the systems.

After 7+ years as a People exec - including Chief People Officer - I watched smart, capable humans get blamed for systems designed to break them.

So we're rebuilding the systems.

"IF YOUR CULTURE REQUIRES PEOPLE TO shrink TO SURVIVE,
THAT'S NOT CULTURE. that's a hostage situation."
