Is Your Team FADE-ing?

Fatigue. Aimlessness. Discouragement. Ego.

If your team is showing signs of FADE, it’s not a performance problem. It’s not a motivation issue. It’s not a talent problem.

It’s a signal that something deeper is happening—it’s a leadership opportunity.

FADE* is how teams silently fall apart.

Here’s what it might look like in your world:

F — Fatigue

Your team isn’t lazy—they’re drained.
Call volume is high. Energy is low.
They’re grinding through the day with nothing left to give.

🧭 Leadership Check-In:
Are you building systems that support sustainable energy—or just demanding more output?

A — Aimlessness

You see people working… but you don’t see alignment.
They’re making calls, but there’s no ownership. No fire. No connection to purpose.
They’re compliant, not committed.

🧭 Leadership Check-In:
Are you leading with a clear vision—or just managing by numbers?

D — Discouragement

You notice it in the tone. In the eyes. In the silence.
They’re questioning their value—and they’re not wrong.
When feedback is mostly correction, even strong team members lose belief.

🧭 Leadership Check-In:
Are your words fueling growth—or feeding self-doubt?

E — Ego

Not arrogance—ego as protection.
You might be tightening control. They might be shutting down.
Micromanagement creeps in. Trust leaks out.
Everyone’s trying to stay safe… instead of showing up fully.

🧭 Leadership Check-In:
Is your culture built on fear or trust?
