What You Can Control

There are three circles in any reorg.

The innermost: what you control. Your behavior. Your communication. How you show up for your team.

The middle: what you can influence. Relationships, narrative, your team’s confidence.

The outer: what you have to accept. The structure. Decisions already made.

Most leaders in a reorg spend their energy in the outer circle. That’s where the anxiety lives.

The leaders who come through strongest redirect that energy back to the innermost circle: what can I actually do right now?

Where is most of your energy going — and which circle is it in?
