THE 14 SIGNS YOUR COMPANY IS STUCK IN “STORMING” ⚠️
1️⃣ Employees don’t know how they’re performing because feedback only happens during annual reviews.
2️⃣ Nobody agrees on processes or “how things are done.” Too many opinions, no alignment.
3️⃣ Everything is urgent. Projects are rushed with little planning or project management.
4️⃣ Meetings become the solution for everything — but most meetings waste time.
5️⃣ People go around each other just to get things done, hurting trust and collaboration.
6️⃣ Communication turns into endless emails and overwhelming email threads.
7️⃣ New ideas get shut down quickly with “no.”
8️⃣ Employees stop speaking up because their ideas never go anywhere.
9️⃣ Managers become overwhelmed and productivity drops.
🔟 Companies try “cheesy” morale boosters that feel fake and ineffective.
1️⃣1️⃣ Leadership blames frontline employees instead of fixing the real issues.
1️⃣2️⃣ Good people leave. They may say it’s for better pay, but culture is usually the real reason.
1️⃣3️⃣ Hiring becomes difficult, and leaders claim “there are no good people anymore.”
1️⃣4️⃣ Remaining employees absorb extra work from vacant positions — a major culture killer.
❓If several of these sound familiar, your organization may be stuck in Storming.
The good news? You can fix it with better leadership, communication, structure, and accountability.
