⚙️ Fix systems, not people

Cliff Brake March 27, 2025 #process #hiring

We can rarely "fix" other people. Short of a divine conversion experience or a life-changing event, people don't fundamentally change, no matter how much we plead, beg, threaten, cajole, encourage, etc. Certainly, some are more gifted with the ability to motivate, nurture, and mentor others. But, even this has limits. So we are left with two options:

  1. Get the right people on the bus.
  2. Work on the systems and processes that help all of us work and communicate more effectively.
