6Step 6 of 6 in the GDD Operating System

Even well-run teams will hit failures. Recovery discipline is the ability to acknowledge the breakdown, diagnose what went wrong, reset the standard, and move forward without blame spirals or finger-pointing. It is the step that turns setbacks into system improvements rather than recurring problems.

This program reinforces the Guide, Don't Drive™ Leadership Operating System.
