How can a crisis reveal hidden problems?

A crisis does not create new problems. A crisis shows existing weaknesses. Addressing these weaknesses helps a person or a team.

By Pawan Nayar · from the LLOS AI Learning record

The rule

A crisis does not create new problems.

A crisis shows existing weaknesses. Addressing these weaknesses helps a person or a team.

A crisis can make old problems clear. It shows where things were not strong before. For example, stress can show problems in how people talk to each other. It can show different values. It can show issues that were not solved. This helps people understand the real causes of stress. They can then fix these older problems.

A manager notices a team struggles with a new, difficult project. The project does not create new communication problems. Instead, the stress of the project shows that the team already had poor ways of talking to each other. The manager can now help the team improve its communication.
