00:00:02.800 Every leader for their department
00:00:04.320 should understand the strategy, the systems,
00:00:07.240 the reporting, and the people.
00:00:08.720 If they don't have those fundamental things,
00:00:10.480 the only way to solve the problems
00:00:11.500 that are gonna come up is meetings.
