We are currently entering an era of “quiet quitting” or the “great resignation”. Companies are struggling to conform to the new way of life within the corporate world. Having diversity, and knowing how to manage various cultures, age groups, and dynamics has become a key issue in most organizations. Technology is also changing the world around us at an astronomical pace, making it difficult for organizations to keep up. Companies who fail to grow with the times will inevitably be left behind.
Do you feel complacent or too comfortable within your role?
Do you feel that it is harder to collaborate with others who don’t understand you?
Do you feel isolated or stressed in a collaborative role?
Do you feel that your opinion is disregarded at work?
If you or your team find yourselves saying yes to all of this… you might need to create a new way of thinking/mindset.
