How to Lead When the Goalposts Keep Moving

How to Lead When the Goalposts Keep Moving

How leaders can steady teams when priorities and direction keep shifting. In this episode of 'How to Lead', Kate discusses how teams don’t need certainty as much as orientation, and how instability comes from how change is handled. She recommends establishing a predictable cadence for reviews to reduce shock, acknowledging fatigue when people express frustration, and maintaining a measured tone because teams calibrate off leadership presence. Practical actions include auditing recent priority shifts, introducing defined checkpoints, and slowing down delivery to signal stability and enable execution under uncertainty.
