yes - people are capable.
But they are also exhausted.
And leadership has never been more complex.
Teams are burned out. Communication is breaking down. Retention is expensive. Everyone is busy. And few people are truly leading.
The organizations that thrive won't have the smartest leaders; they'll have the clearest ones.
That's what Janet teaches.
