Most business owners and leaders believe their business system is the problem — EOS, OKRs, Lean, SOPs, L10s, dashboards, workflows.
But the truth is far more uncomfortable:
Systems don’t fail because they’re flawed.
Systems fail because leadership capability is missing.
In this episode, Brendan Rogers breaks down why even the best frameworks fall apart when the human side of leadership isn’t developed. You’ll learn the three leadership capability gaps that silently destroy systems — and what to do to strengthen the leaders inside your business.
If you’ve ever thought “But we’ve put systems in place… why are we still stuck?” — this episode has the answer.

- The difference between leading the business and leading the people
- The 3 leadership capability gaps that cause systems to collapse
