#3775: Systems ALWAYS Get "Gamed"

from Work On Your Game: Discipline, Structure, and Execution Under Pressure · host Dre Baldwin

In this masterclass, I’m breaking down why every system eventually gets gamed and what leaders need to understand about human behavior. People naturally look for ways to optimize incentives and measurements for themselves, which can pull behavior away from the mission the system was designed to accomplish. The best systems anticipate this, evolve over time, and keep the incentives aligned with the desired outcome. Show Notes: [04:59]#1 People optimize for the measurement, not the mission. [09:23]#2 Every incentive creates new behavior. [17:04]#3 Systems must continuously evolve. [21:45] Recap Next Steps: --- Execution is not a talent.   It is a standard. If your results don’t match your ability, something in your approach is out of alignment. Most people do not have a motivation problem.   They have a consistency problem. Power Presence is the system for operating with greater discipline, clarity, structure, and execution under pressure.
