Steve introduces the management portion of the Founder Foundations series by leaning on Michael Gerber's E-Myth: the system runs the business, the people run the system. He's candid that he considers himself a poor manager and that systemizing his own service business years ago is what finally relieved the constant pressure of running it.
He walks through the shift from blaming people when something breaks to asking what system failed, using a late accounts payable report as an example. A grounding episode for founders who keep hitting the same operational fires without fixing the underlying process.
