My Latest Book: the system_
Discover the foundational ideas behind Derrick's work in “the system_”, where Derrick explores how to rewire organizations for clarity, efficiency, and sustained growth.
For decades, business leaders have been handed the same dusty rulebook—outdated management theories rooted in control, incentives, and micromanagement. In the system _, Derrick Mains tears it all down and rebuilds it for the modern world.
As Max Hansen, CEO of Y Scouts, says about the system _:
"Read it, then rip up your playbook."
