Co-Design Pivot: Finding the Right Fit Together

As your strategic direction matures, technical and execution-heavy roles become vital. While this team member may no longer fit the central operational engine, they still bring high-value relational and cultural assets. This strategy guides you in collaborating with them to explore new roles or redesign existing ones. It's not about pushing them out—it's about inviting them to help design a version of their future that aligns with their core strengths and the organization's evolving needs.
This conversation balances realism with opportunity. By walking this path together, you preserve their dignity, protect team morale, and model the values of symphonic leadership—mutual respect, collaborative visioning, and responsive adaptation.
