In both storm hardening and team hardening, the goal is the same: resilience. You wouldn’t let your poles deteriorate, your wires sag, or your grid run on half power —so why accept it in your workplace?

Invest in strength. Shore up communication. Practice for chaos. And most importantly, give your team the care and attention you’d give a high-voltage line. After all, strong poles and strong teams have one thing in common—they both hold everything together when the storm hits.

And let’s be honest: nobody wants to be known for letting everything collapse—whether it’s a power line in a storm or a team under pressure.
