How do you influence people to follow your lead? From quiet quitting to quiet vacationing, here's what's new | Ep 26

Around 2022, after the pandemic, people started realizing that it wasn't worth giving up their life and their health for jobs that required a lot of energy, but weren't giving them much in return. Then came quiet quitting, next quiet vacationing, now there's coffee and badging. All of these are phrases used by people who are not happy to follow a leader, to be part of a group, to be part of an organization, to come to the workplace that they are hired to work in.They're also not being satisfied, and they're not being fulfilled.No organizational leader wants to pay anyone for not working. But we can't cure a problem by looking at it and being disgusted. Just like we can't cure cancer with a band aid. We have to cure a problem by getting to the root of it. So in this episode I'm addressing:How do you create an environment where people aren't quiet quitting or quiet vacationing, nor do they want to? How do you ensure your people are doing the work they say their doing, without being a micromanager, monitoring their every move, or mandating they come in to the office?If you're listening, I've got answers.
