What you'll learn

If you're still the one solving everything, the system isn't working. Here's how to see it clearly.

Why this topic matters

Managing managers isn't the same job as managing people — and most senior leaders were never told that. If your managers are still bringing you every problem, the bottleneck isn't them. It's the conditions they're operating inside. This lesson gives you the framework to fix that.
