When a leader keeps missing the mark, do you change the person or change the process?

In this episode, BOP Coaches Shawn "Dickie" Stinson and Brandon "Donny" Gray put real-time coaching to the test with a live "sight read" of a struggling sales team inside a $60M home building company.

No prep. No script. Just raw diagnosis.

They unpack what to do when you are on your third sales manager, performance is lagging, and the owner keeps stepping back in to save the day. Is it a training problem? A personality mismatch? A culture issue? Or a broken hiring process?

Instead of guessing, they walk through the exact filters every owner should use:

✅ Have we clearly equipped this leader with defined expectations and scorecards? ✅ Are they truly a fit for the mission, culture, and pressure of the role? ✅ Are we sharpening skills or trying to manufacture motivation? ✅ Is our hiring process filtering the right people before they ever start? ✅ What due diligence steps are we skipping that cost us later?

If you have ever felt stuck replacing the same role over and over again, this episode will challenge how you think about leadership, hiring, and accountability.

Sometimes the issue is not the person. It is the system you built around them.

If you want clarity like an OBD2 scanner for your business, this one is for you.

Here is what you will take away: ✅ Why checklists reduce mental fatigue and decision overload ✅ The difference between a checklist and a wish list ✅ How simplified systems prevent missed details and rework ✅ Why execution improves when thinking is removed from the moment

Why do smart business owners keep making decisions they later regret?

It is rarely about intelligence or effort. Most bad decisions come from fatigue, pressure, and reacting instead of leading with clarity.

If you feel like you are constantly fixing problems you created with past decisions, this episode will help you reset how you think, choose, and lead.

Here is what you will take away: ✅ Why pressure leads to poor decision making ✅ How to create decision filters that protect your time and energy ✅ The hidden cost of reactive leadership ✅ Simple ways to slow down and decide with confidence
