Systems
We document the science so people can bring their art to work and feel their input made a difference.
“If you want to change the fruit, you have to change the root. If you want to change the visible, you must first change the invisible.”
— T. Harv Eker
I Left A System, Not Just Memories.
When I left my campus to become a district leader, my previous Dean of Instruction didn't just speak on my character to new and returning staff, he spoke on the foundation I left behind. The very work that lasts beyond me.

If It Exists, You Can Bet
It Has A System
Systems are everywhere. You’re either building them or cleaning up after them.
Onboarding: The Pieces Missed All Too Often
Because knowing who approves the PTO isn’t the same as knowing who actually has influence.
Evaluations: A Tool For Growth or The Axe?
If people only hear feedback when it's tied to consequences, it's not development, it's damage control.
SOPs: You're Hoarding Knowledge & The Why
Keeping info to yourself doesn’t make you valuable. It makes you selfish. Real leaders build systems others can use.
The Science & Art Of Systems
Write down the science so others can bring their art. Structure creates space for creativity, not reversed.
Branding Standards: Picky On Purpose
A Snickers doesn’t surprise you. Your brand shouldn’t either. Consistency isn’t control, it’s confidence.
The System Isn't Broken, It Was Designed This Way
When people get hurt and leadership calls it a glitch, don’t be fooled. Some systems were built to exclude, silence, or protect power. It’s not broken. It’s functioning as intended.
Planning To Fall Off the Face Of The Earth?
Good. It means you trust your systems. If everything falls apart when you're gone, you weren’t leading, you were babysitting.
Micromanagement.
The Symptom of Distrust
If you built better systems, you wouldn’t need to breathe down necks. Even bungee cord companies trust what they’ve built — so what’s your excuse?
Masterclass: Gaslighting For Managers
Confuse with confidence. Deny with a smile. Make your team question what they saw, heard, and felt — then thank you for the feedback.
Do Your Systems Have Purpose & Clarity?
Or are they just routines on autopilot? A good system doesn’t just keep things running, it tells people where they’re going and why it matters.
Sharing Knowledge Across Teams: How To
Not everything needs a meeting. Some things need a one-pager. Others need a video, an email, or a damn newsletter. The real skill is knowing what to share and how to share it so it lands.
