ISSUE
There is unrest, stagnation, or a loss of trust
Sometimes the formal issue is visible, but the organization remains stuck. In such cases, careful action also requires attention to leadership, relationships, recurring patterns, and what is not easily spoken aloud.
What is important now?
Look beyond the visible issue
Unrest and loss of trust often arise from an interplay of events, leadership, relationships, and recurring patterns.
Make space for different perspectives
Recovery begins when those involved feel truly heard and difficult or yet unspoken experiences can also find a place.
Restore clarity and accountability
Employees need to know what the organization stands for, who takes responsibility, and what they can rely on during the recovery process.
What can you do now?
Visualize the underlying dynamic
Investigate what is actually going on, which perspectives exist, and which patterns, tensions, or events contribute to getting stuck.
Create space for a careful conversation
Organize a safe and well-guided dialogue where those involved can express what is needed without allowing the situation to escalate further.
Create a broadly supported recovery plan
Translate the acquired insights into concrete agreements regarding leadership, collaboration, responsibilities, and guidance for further recovery.
