I’ve seen that too – little ripples that grow if we ignore them. The best way is to keep our ears open, not just for noise but for the quiet shifts in how people act or feel. When we talk openly, when we notice patterns that start repeating, we can pause and ask, “What might this be warning us?” And then we gently check if the warning is true by looking for small changes, talking with those affected, and acting before the ripple turns into a wave. It’s a bit like tending a garden: we can see the first wilt before the whole plant falls.
