Most change management has shifted from a simplistic, top-down, “create a vision, change the structure, roll out the new program, and get buy-in” approach to more emergent, empowered, and purpose-led approaches. But leading big, complex change is still a struggle — the rate of failure for tran...

We need to talk about "quiet quitting".

Social media outlets like TikTok and Instagram have introduced this term to us so what is it? Why should we be concerned?

Quiet quitting isn't exactly resigning from your job immediately. Rather, it's mentally checking out or doing the bare minimum just to get by. No more going above and beyond at work, staying late, or taking on more responsibilities without more pay. It's this generation's rally for better work-life balance and honestly, I'm here for it.

While this has a negative and passive-aggressive connotation, if organizations are paying attention, this could be the catalyst for the change that they need. Employers need to stop overworking employees, demanding more work, not more pay and calling it "teamwork". This is NOT fair to employees.

So is this really "quiet quitting" or is it just being rational about your workload, boundaries and self-preservation?

Let's chat in the comments.

Berkeley has vowed to do better with diversity--starting with who they hire. In fact, "applicants must write a short essay about how much they support the controversial diversity, equity, and inclusion philosophy — actually a personal "vow" of one's enthusiasm for the tenets of critical race theory."

But this isn't being well received (shocker).

What are your thoughts on this article and how they're going about trying to achieve diversity?

Imagine applying to a job and, as part of your application, having to write a B.S. college essay about diversity for the HR department.

Remember to celebrate milestones as you prepare for the road ahead.
~Nelson Mandela

How many goals have you set that you haven't celebrated once they've been achieved?

Let's stop doing that. Seriously.

Give yourself the flowers you deserve now. Give yourself the reward. Don't wait for someone else's acknowledgment before you celebrate your own excellence.

Drop some of your recent successes so we can celebrate you too!

Entitled, lazy, and sensitive? I think not! As a member of Generation Z workforce (employees born between 1997-2012), I have heard a few of these labels. Amid an ever-growing generational divide, many stereotypes have been thrown around about my generation. Older generations may see us as sensitive,...
