When you step into leadership, the system around you doesn’t stay the same, it reshapes itself in response to you. And if you don’t guide that reset, you might find yourself stuck in old dynamics, blurred roles, and sideways conversations that drain your time and trust.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to recognize and reset your team’s system in a healthy way. We use the image of a pool to help you visualize what happens when the current changes and how your role affects the entire flow.
You’ll explore:
- How promotions shift the dynamics of everyone on the team
- What functional vs. dysfunctional resets actually look like
- The difference between people problems and system problems
- Four simple steps to guide a healthy reset
- What happens if you don’t guide the reset and how that creates lasting dysfunction
Before you focus on fixing relationships, you’ve got to make sure the water you’re all swimming in is clear. This episode talk about how.
