Stop Fixing People Problems. The One Question That Shows HR Leadership What's Broken

What do you do when you've built the best HR of your career and the business looks exactly like it did the day you arrived?

The problem lands on your desk as a people problem: bad salespeople, reviews nobody trusts, a team that needs to be swapped out. So you fix it, and you fix it well. But the salespeople are doing what the comp plan pays them to do. Until you read the number before you read the people, every program you build aims at a problem the business never had.

In this episode, Jackson and Scott break down how to find the one repair worth more than all the others.

You'll discover:

• Why strong HR work can still leave the business standing still
• How to find the one thing holding the business back, sometimes in an afternoon, without a new HR program
• What the first four moves are for Monday, including the exact question that gets you into the room where it changes

If someone just handed you a "bad team" to fix, listen now and learn what to check in the P&L before you touch a single person.
