Most small businesses don't have an HR problem — they have a strategy problem. And by the time they realize it, they've already missed the inflection point.
In this episode:
• Why 95% of organizational problems trace back to a single root cause: lack of communication
• What IKEA's AI deployment gets right that most companies get completely wrong
• The hidden cost of layoffs that never shows up on a financial statement
• How to know when founder instincts stop being enough and a people system becomes non-negotiable
