What is Creative Stability?
Making the working environment predictable enough that people can focus on difficult work.
What you learn
Make the things people keep guessing about explicit.
When it helps
priorities keep changing, or people wait for permission before acting.
Use it at work
- Collect the questions people keep asking.
- Write down the priorities, approval rules and timelines.
- Tell people before plans change, and why.
- Keep the rules stable unless there’s a clear reason.
Your output
Read a week of your team’s questions. Find the three most repeated guesses, and write each answer where everyone can find it.
Watch for
Leaving priorities, approval rules and timelines unsaid, so people guess.
