You don’t have a people problem. You have a signal problem.

You’re in a room.
Wi-Fi’s weak.
You shout into Zoom, but the signal drops.

You don’t fire your team because the connection stuttered.
You fix the system.

Yet in business, we confuse dropped signals for broken people.

Your top performer suddenly underdelivers?
Your co-founder goes silent in key meetings?
Your team stops asking hard questions?

It’s easy to call it attitude. Burnout. Resistance.

But what if it’s something deeper?

What if the system makes it unsafe to speak?
What if invisible roles and unspoken rules have more authority than your org chart?

People aren't broken.
But systems can be.

If the signal’s not getting through, it's not because the team doesn’t care.
It’s because they’ve learned what not to say.

Systemic business growth means upgrading the way your organization communicates:

  • Do your people know what kind of truth is welcome?

  • Can your system receive feedback, or only send it?

  • Are your best ideas stuck in draft, because the culture punishes risk?

You don’t need more buy-in.
You need more bandwidth.

Because if your system punishes honesty, the best ideas will always disconnect.
