Biggest Takeaways You Don't Want to Miss:

• We assume results are a function of effort or leadership quality. But in reality, results are a function of our systems.
• When you try to get outcomes a system wasn’t built for, effort increases but results don’t.
• When you don’t have the right systems in place, YOU become the system.
• Every system is perfectly designed to produce the results it’s getting. If the work keeps falling apart, it’s not because you’re failing. It’s because your systems weren’t built to carry it.
• Your effort can’t fix a system that wasn’t designed for the outcome you’re trying to get.
• Stop being the system and start building one that works

I see this pattern over and over again: capable principals implementing solid ideas, working hard, and still feeling like progress won’t hold.

When that happens, we usually assume the problem is us—our clarity, our follow-through, our leadership—or we blame the moment we’re in.

In this episode, I unpack a harder truth that explains why so much good work fades, even when the strategies are sound.

If you’ve ever wondered why effort keeps increasing but results don’t, this conversation will help you see your school (and your role) differently, #LikeABuilder.
