Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- There’s real friction on my team
- My team feels off and I keep reacting to each flare-up as its own thing, but I can’t actually say what phase we’re in
- We had a reorg — lost a key person, changed direction — and suddenly the team that used to hum is fighting and second-guessing again, and I’m treating it like they broke instead of seeing the ground shifted under them.

- My team is genuinely running well without me now, but I keep inserting myself into decisions they could make
