    The Office

    World's Best Boss?

    What changes when you become responsible for people who used to be your peers?

    You'll be able to:

    • Make the shift from doing the work to being responsible for people — including former peers — explicit rather than silent.
    • Give corrective and affirming feedback that is specific, observable, and tied to a clear expectation.
    • Diagnose a persistent performance problem before responding, and follow a fair, defensible process.

    The Bear

    Every Second Counts

    Is your team's problem the people, or the way the work is built?

    You'll be able to:

    • Diagnose whether a recurring team failure is a systems problem or a behavior problem before responding.
    • Build accountability and psychological safety together so problems surface while they are still small.
    • Make the real capacity choice — what stops — instead of relying on heroics and burnout.

    Don't Fix It for Them

    How do you help someone without taking their problem away from them?

    You'll be able to:

    • Notice the moment you take over someone's problem, and stay in the conversation instead.
    • Ask short, open questions that build another person's judgment rather than deliver your answer.
    • Choose deliberately between coaching, directing and referring — and say which one you are doing.
