The Day Your Team Stops Escalating: Episode 3
When teams stop escalating, problems do not disappear; they go underground. In this episode, Antonio Irizarry breaks down how no-surprises cultures quietly delay truth until it becomes expensive, and how leaders can rebuild early signal with a clear escalation standard and a simple weekly practice. This episode also connects to Norevia Rising, because stories often reveal what dashboards hide.
Practice this week: Ask, "What are we calling green that feels red?" Then define four escalation triggers: customer risk, cross-functional help, heroics, and tradeoffs. Commit to one visible 7-day action.
Follow Compass To Practice for weekly leadership practices. On Spotify, answer the poll: What keeps teams from escalating risk early?
