298. You Built the System. Then You Broke It.
About this episode
Why do your school's systems keep breaking, even after you've built the SOPs and invested in outside help? Chanie explains the real pattern behind it, and it isn't a discipline problem.
In this episode:
- Why even a $2.1 million consulting investment couldn't fix one leader's system
- The real reason caretakers break their own rules under pressure
- The four-part framework every system needs to actually hold: standard, ownership, rhythm, response
- How to start noticing the invisible ways you rescue your team from consequences
Tune in for why the fix isn't another template.
