Written by Chris Ortiz, a seasoned business coach, leadership mentor, and Shingo Prize-winning author with over 25 years of experience transforming teams and organizations across industries.

The challenges leaders face today aren’t new. Missed targets. High turnover. Broken improvement efforts. They show up in every industry and every company. What is different is how some leaders respond and why others stay stuck.

Same Problems, Same Opportunities: Why Leadership Still Matters is a new book that does not chase trends. It focuses on what works: leadership grounded in systems, accountability, and execution.

At the center is a proven framework called the Process-People-Product Model. Methodology of focusing on processes and people, and letting the product become a natural byproduct of doing the first two correctly.

Readers will find real-world stories, practical tools, and blunt advice drawn from decades of operational experience across multiple industries.

This is a book for frontline managers, seasoned executives, project leaders, and anyone in between who is ready to stop firefighting and start building something sustainable.
