Weathering the Torpedoes
Teams face moments that feel like the end. Torpedoes hit and chaos erupts.
Some freeze, lost in analysis or despair. Others grab buckets, extinguish fires and patch the holes. Those who can’t handle the storm often leave — but the team that stays learns.
Each crisis builds resilience. Over time, the screams fade, the paralysis lessens and the team grows steady. One day, the torpedo hits and nobody panics. Everyone acts, shoulders the load and trusts each other to hold the line.
That’s the moment you know your team is unstoppable.
