Impact of Constant Reorgs

by Pia Jansson | Apr 14, 2026 | Leadership

Another reorg. Another new boss.

Another investor, demanding client, or shift in what the market wants.

You barely finished onboarding the last one.

And now you're back to square one, rebuilding trust, re-explaining context, and quietly wondering if your work even matters anymore.

This is the reality for so many people right now.

What constant reorgs really cost

And the cost isn't just morale. It's momentum. It's the slow erosion of confidence in people who were once your strongest performers.

Here's what starts to happen in constant reorg cycles:

• People stop investing in relationships
• Decisions stall because no one knows who owns what
• Your best people start quietly updating their resumes
• Energy dips... and by Friday, everyone's just getting through the day

Where leadership actually matters

That's a lot to carry.

But here's what I've seen, over and over again, after 35+ years in startups and scaling SMBs:

You can't control the reorgs. But you can control whether you become the anchor or get swept away.

The leaders who stay true to who they are, how they think, and lead, become the anchor... or are pulled into the current with everyone else.

A question worth sitting with

So, here's a question for you:

Are you the anchor on your team right now, or are you starting to feel the pull?

If you're feeling the shift, it's time to step back and get clear on how you lead at your best.
