People Problem
The effort isn't there — and effort is what you can control.
The clearest signal of a people problem isn't missed targets. It's that the required inputs — the calls made, the meetings held, the follow-ups done — simply aren't happening. When the revenue team isn't putting in the expected effort, you don't have a market problem. You have a hiring, onboarding, or mentoring gap.
People problems can exist at any level: executors (client-facing teams), managers, or leadership. Each requires a different intervention.
