# Shift Management Focus to Systems

**Action:** Evolve management practices so that leaders stop reviewing individual deliverables (now handled by agents) and start reviewing the **health of the systems**. Managers should ask:
- Are outputs strategically aligned?
- Are feedback loops working?
- Is the [[concept-brand-code]] current and accurate?

**Supports:** the managerial dimension of [[concept-shift-from-output-to-judgment]].

**Outcome:** Continuous improvement of the agentic system and maintenance of an accurate brand code.
