Managing Through

When Someone Else’s Failure Is Your Responsibility

Their work was not your responsibility to perform.
Their failure was your responsibility to manage.

A firsthand account of running a public company when outside work stops arriving, but payroll, people, and decisions cannot wait. Real events and practical lessons for leaders responsible for outcomes they cannot fully control.
