When teams avoid addressing leadership gaps after key departures

Our team lead left six months ago and instead of replacing them we've all just been picking up pieces and pretending it's working but nobody wants to admit that we're drowning and the work quality is suffering. We keep having these surface-level check-ins where everyone says they're 'managing fine' but I can see the stress and resentment building and I don't know how to name what's really happening.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group is collectively maintaining a fiction about their capacity while real problems compound beneath forced optimism.
