1. How to turn around failing teams by implementing honest leadership, accessible office hours, and graceful exit rituals
2. Why building roles around people instead of business needs creates unsustainable organizational structures
3. The CHAOS framework for systematically delegating, automating, or eliminating work that doesn't serve you
4. How training managers on hiring, retention, and self-management creates exponentially better team outcomes
5. Why teams must be healthy before they can be happy, and happy before they can be high-performing
6. How to budget correctly for hiring by adding 6-9 months to cover recruitment time and potential mishires
7. The critical distinction between solving today's problems with contractors versus building tomorrow's team with full-time hires
