Firefighting feels productive because it’s loud and visible. But the real value? It’s often quiet: clear decisions, steady delivery, fewer surprises. In this episode of The Rise of the COO, we talk about how COOs can break the firefighting loop and design an operating system that makes calm the default. We cover the early signals your organisation is reward‑aligned to urgency, simple design moves you can roll out in a quarter, and the small set of metrics that shift behaviour from heroics to reliability. Practical, human, and zero jargon—perfect for anyone who wants to trade constant crisis for progress that compounds.
