Stage 2 – Stable

Steady in calm times — but rigidity and risk-aversion cause missed opportunities and wasted effort.

What this means:

Your team can deliver in steady times. But disruption throws them off balance because they lack adaptability and open dialogue.

What this looks like:

Everyone does “their part,” but no one goes further. Updates dominate meetings. In disruption, the group stalls until told what to do.

Business Impact:

Opportunities are missed, decision-making slows, and resources are wasted in delays and rework.

Behavioral Signals:

• Goals and roles are defined, but people focus narrowly on “my piece.”

• Collaboration is transactional; feedback is top-down only.

• Meetings provide structure but not energy.

• When disruption comes, the team waits for direction instead of acting.

Teamwork Foundations:

• Goals: Defined but rigid; not reprioritized under pressure.

• Roles & Responsibilities: Documented but siloed — handoffs clunky.

• Feedback: Mostly one-way, limited peer exchange.

• Meetings: Structured but uninspiring; updates dominate, accountability weak.

Wherever your team landed on the Disruption-Proof Journey, it’s just a snapshot — not a sentence. Teams can move forward, but it takes intention and practice.

Consequence

If your team stays where it is, you’ll keep feeling the drag: unclear priorities, uneven accountability, silos slowing execution, or energy drained by fatigue. These patterns don’t fix themselves — they repeat until you lead differently.

Possibility

The good news: moving forward doesn’t require grand gestures or glossy campaigns. Progress comes from everyday behaviors — small, practical shifts that build new muscles for how your team works together in disruption.
