Leadership team practicing Respond to Drift
5Step 5 of 6 in the GDD Operating System

Drift is the slow erosion of standards over time. Left unchecked, it redefines what the team considers acceptable. Responding to drift means noticing when behaviors slide, naming the gap, and correcting it quickly - before small exceptions become permanent patterns.

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