One afternoon
The bonus-plan audit
Read your top twenty leaders' incentive formulas and count how many of them are better off if your most important new initiative quietly dies.
Live Workshop · Thursday, August 27
Learn why your team says “we can't” without even thinking, and what you can do about it.
Bring one thing your company says it can't do. Leave knowing whether it's a can't, a won't, or a haven't, and what to do about it on Monday.

About this session
It's an old decision nobody remembers making, still running on autopilot. Nobody said no. The idea died anyway, somewhere between the person who had it and the person who could have funded it.
This is a free, 60-minute working session on how that happens and how to reverse it. JL Heather and Preston Chandler of Centered walk through the three-way sort that tells a real constraint from a decision in disguise, and two audits you can run yourself next week. No budget, no consultant, nobody's permission.
Come with one thing your company says it can't do. Leave with one change, small enough to start this quarter.

Most “we can't” isn't a limit, and it isn't your people. It's an old decision nobody remembers making, still running on autopilot. We'll show you where to look for yours.
The three-way sort, can't, won't, haven't, and two audits you can run yourself next week. No budget, no consultant, nobody's permission.
Not a program. One change, sized to your organization, small enough to start this quarter and reversible enough that being wrong costs you nothing.

What refusal actually costs you, and why it never shows up on a P&L.
A way to sort any “we can't” in five minutes. Real constraints get honored. Everything else gets reopened.
One change you can start before the quarter closes.
You'll leave the session knowing how to run both. Neither needs a budget, a consultant, or anyone's permission.

One week
Follow a live request through the building. At every stop, log how long it waited and the last time that person said no.
Leaders who keep hearing the same objection from different people, and have started to wonder whether it's true.
