Description
In this course, veteran quality systems auditor and consultantJames A. Shelltakes you inside the real mechanics of organizational failure. This is not a motivational seminar. It is a practical, often uncomfortable examination of how incompetence is created, rewarded, protected, and ultimately institutionalized.

By the end of this course, you will see your workplace – and your own decisions – with unsettling clarity. You will understand not onlywhatis going wrong, butwhyit keeps happening, and how seemingly reasonable people and policies quietly produce large-scale failure.

This course provides the foundation for Course 102, where we move from recognition to survival, strategy, and practical competence-building.
