Episode #149: Stability in Chaos - What That Looks Like Now
About This Episode
Change isn’t slowing down—employees now face an average of 10 major workplace shifts each year, up from just two a decade ago. No wonder 75% say they’re craving more stability at work. But stability doesn’t mean resisting change—it means being the leader who provides clarity, rituals, and emotional steadiness when everything else feels uncertain. In this episode, we dig into Deloitte’s concept of “stagility”—the balance between stability and agility—and explore how dependable leadership can keep teams grounded without holding them back. You’ll walk away with practical ways to create anchors for your people, from predictable check-ins to emotional consistency, so your team feels safe enough to thrive in the midst of chaos.
