Key points: How to build teams that drive business results, not just complete tasks. What leadership maturity means and how to cultivate it. Delegating responsibility without creating chaos or burnout. How to identify and neutralize toxic players (narcissists, psychopaths) in the system, and why they are important for business success. Managing emotional load during times of crisis. Practical tools for leaders to structure chaos and maintain focus on outcomes.
