the system _
TRIGGER
If you worship at the altar of Peter Drucker, if Jack Welch is your spirit animal, if you think Gary Vee and his hustle culture will get you somewhere—turn back now.
Beyond here be dragons.
As Max Hansen, CEO of Y Scouts, says about the system _:
"Read it, then rip up your playbook."
For decades, business leaders have been handed the same dusty rulebook—outdated management theories rooted in control, incentives, and micromanagement.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.
Mains—aka The Process Fixer—has spent over 20 years inside more than 300 companies, from scrappy startups to the Fortune 10. What he’s uncovered is simple but
It’s not your people failing your systems—it’s your systems failing your people.
This isn’t another book full of leadership clichés or empty motivational fluff. the system _ is a blueprint for rethinking how organizations actually work—at the structural level, where real change happens.
Inside, you’ll learn how
Dismantle broken leadership models and replace them with something that actually works.
Design systems that cultivate pride, joy, and performance—without carrot-and-stick tactics.
Build a business that runs smoother, scales faster, and treats people like humans, not cogs.
Aaron Bare, author of the WSJ Best Seller Exponential Theory, calls
"A deconstruction of 75 years of outdated management theory—rebuilt for today."
Scott Winter
"You think you’ve got leadership figured out—this book dares to What if you’re wrong?"
Benj Miller, CEO of System & Soul,
"Derrick will make you rethink everything you know about running a business."
This book isn’t here to tweak your thinking—it’s here to burn it down and rebuild it.
the system _ is your wake-up call: you’re running a 21st-century business with ideas and philosophies from the age of the horse and buggy.
This is your invitation to rethink, redesign, and finally lead like it’s the 21st century.
Because the system _ isn’t about grinding yourself (and your team) into dust.
It’s about finally fixing things and beating the system that make hustle necessary in the first place.
Beyond here be dragons.
