The Ultimate Bystander Effect Framework
Want to solve these faster? Stop treating every problem like it's brand new. Every problem follows the exact same architectural rules.
The Rule: People don't help because of the 'diffusion of responsibility'. When 10 people are watching a crisis, everyone assumes someone else has already called 911.

Lock that framework into your brain and you will never need to cram this topic again.
