What if your best manager's slipping number isn't a skills gap at all, but a week with no room left in it?

When a manager misses the number, you reach for the usual fixes: more coaching, a time-management workshop, a sharper feedback tool. Every one of those adds a duty to the week, and none takes one away.

Nobody owns the manager's week, and every function has a claim on it, yours included. The real problem is capacity, not capability.

In this episode, Jackson breaks down the order a consequential CHRO works a slipping number in, and what he learned at Frito-Lay when some 50 initiatives from every function landed on the same frontline sales leader.

You'll discover:

• Why the manager problem keeps coming back, no matter how good the program built to solve it
• How a consequential CHRO reads a manager whose number is slipping, and why it's different
• What four moves to make starting this week, so your managers' hours go back to the work that carries the number

If your managers keep missing the number no matter how good the program is, listen now and find out how much is already in the glass before you pour in more.
