Why do good execution plans always fail?

It's not about effort.
It's about a deeper mismatch.

Your hardest workers are destroying your team.

Unpopular opinion: The busiest manager is usually the worst at building a team.

They are so good at doing things themselves that they never build the systems for others to do them.

Two managers, same decision, opposite results.
Two clients fired employees last month.
One saw productivity tank 30%.
The other's team thrived.
The difference reveals a critical management principle.

The secret cost of cautious management.

Everyone is tracking layoffs.
But there is a quieter version happening everywhere.

I call it the REAL "Quiet Firing."

Shell and Coca-Cola leaders share a secret.

I spent years working inside these giants.
And I noticed a pattern among the absolute best managers.

It wasn't what I expected.

MIT: AI exposes your broken leadership systems.
MIT just dropped a study saying AI can automate 11.7% of US work.
That is about $1.2 trillion in wages.
Everyone is panicking about job losses.
But here is what nobody is talking about...

Motivation is a management distraction.
I see this constantly in my coaching calls.
Business owners come to me asking, "Mads, how do I motivate my team?"
I tell them immediately:
You are asking the WRONG question.

76% of executives are wrong about AI.

They believe their teams love the new tech.
But only 31% of employees agree.

This massive disconnect isn't a "glitch."
It is a fundamental management oversight you might be making right now.
