den Boden unter den Füßen verlieren

Italian translation: perdere il controllo/perdere le proprie certezze

German term or phrase: den Boden unter den Füßen verlieren
Sie müssen Ihre Ergebnisse ständig verbessern, Sie müssen in der Lage sein, sich zu verändern und anzupassen, sonst verlieren Sie den Boden unter den Füßen.

E' necessario migliorare costantemente i propri risultati e saper cambiare (?) e adattarsi/stare al passo con i tempi (?) altrimenti si rischia di perdere la terra sotto i piedi ???

Mi rendo conto di aver formulato 3 domande, ora vedo di formulare un'altra domanda PROZ.

Grazie per il vostro aiuto.

PS: non c'è contesto.
