In business. In the community. In politics. A new program, a new nonprofit, a new promise, another organization asking for my trust. Different clothes, same pattern. And the same question I could never answer fast enough in the room: what is actually being built here, and for whom?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eManaged By Design is the answer I put together for myself. It names the mechanisms, how progress gets allowed, redirected, and contained. How anger gets managed. How ownership gets traded for visibility.
