EP15: When Your Team Gets Too Comfortable — How to Reset Without Burning It All Down

Hey un-Corporate Leader,

Welcome to today’s episode — where we tackle a question that came directly from the community:

How do you reset expectations with a team that has gotten too comfortable?

It’s a question many leaders are asking right now, and the answer is more nuanced than simply “hold them accountable.”

In today’s episode, we’ll cover:

How to diagnose why your team has gotten too comfortable — because the answer changes everything

How to ensure your team is still aligned to the strategic direction (and the Big Rig Truck example that will change how you think about this)

Why sharing the why matters more than you think — and how a CHRO once got a psych major (me) excited about semiconductors

How to help each team member understand the implication of change for their specific role — so they come along on the journey instead of resisting it

When comfort crosses the line into a performance issue — and what to do when you’ve pulled every lever and nothing has changed

Sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode. 🎙️
