There's a premise that I think can help Quality Warriors become more influential in their organization: Managers can count better than they can think.
Is this an attack on managers? No, it is not. It is a call for understanding and a challenge.
People who are not managers often don't understand what challenges managers are facing. Their expectations of the managers can be unrealistic which undercuts their effectiveness and influence. This episode explores what managers are facing.
Of course, there are two sides to the issue. Many of the challenges managers face with their people are related to things that the managers are capable of controlling. That is also discussed.
