Your Team Cannot Afford a Leader Who Goes Silent Under Pressure
June is here. We are halfway through 2026 and the pace of change has not slowed down for anyone.
I was working with a leadership team last year that was going through a restructure. The technology was new. The roles were shifting. The manager at the top of that team went completely quiet.
No updates.
No check ins.
No acknowledgment that people were scared.
Three of their best people were gone within 90 days.
Here is what I know after 25 years in HR and people leadership: your team is not asking for all the answers. They are asking for your presence.
Recognition. Development. A conversation that says I see you and I value what you bring.
Change is uncomfortable. Poor communication makes it unbearable. Missing leadership skills turn discomfort into departure.
People leaders, if you are reading this today, your team needs you to show up on purpose this week.
Not perfectly. On purpose. Let’s transform together!
❓What is one thing you will do this week to let your team know they matter?
