energy and can be tuned-in or tuned-out. Stabilization re- quires bringing as many relevant people into the process as is practically possible. Empowerment then becomes straightforward: • Who understands the priorities and their why? • Who can take charge of which piece? • What guardrails and check-in rhythm are needed? Distribute authority only after clarity exists. Empower- ment without prioritization is chaos; empowerment after prioritization is acceleration. Practicality: Make it work with what you have, not what you wish you had. Flatlined companies talk themselves into paralysis by waiting for “the moment,” but you don’t have time for the next hire, cycle, meeting, or data drop. Stabilization is never about “later”, it is about right now Practicality means using: • the capacity freed through prioritization • partnerships you can temporarily extend • fractional expertise that can plug gaps fast This is the ER principle: treat with the resources avail- able now. Ask: • Who has done this before? • Who has 60% capability and can be supported? • How can I fill critical expertise gaps quickly? • Which external partner can give a temporary lift? Practicality isn’t cutting corners; it’s restoring oxygen to a system that can’t wait. Fit for Purpose: Don’t overdose—80/20 wins the re- covery. Once the team starts moving, leaders must apply fit for purpose principles. Many companies stall by perfect- ing proposals and processes that only need to function well enough to move forward. Fit for purpose means: • 80/20 thinking: finetuning is a nice to have! • progressive insight: take a step to learn more • order-of-magnitude clarity: enough understanding to move sensibly? • leaders who can step up today • capabilities you already have • risk proportionality: as low as reasonably practical In an ER, you do not run a full diagnostic panel before stopping a bleed. In business, you do not need maximum data from everywhere, especially the same message am- plified by algorithms into false confidence. Use the problem-solving methods your people know, rely on relevant data from trustworthy sources, and bring in an external perspective to expose bias and blind spots. Stabilization is about good enough to move safely, not comfortably or with perfection. Predictability: Build the rhythm that protects value. Predictability is about where we have control and where we want control: • Where you need predictable outcomes to protect value • Where you have predictable inputs
