#298: Is Complacency Killing Your Performance Jun 27, 2024

Show notes

Complacency can be a challenge that kills performance in organizations. It often arises after a period of great success and can lead to a drop in quality of work, reduced productivity, and a lack of initiative and engagement. To combat complacency, leaders can lead by example, promote self-awareness, and provide feedback and coaching. They can also focus on the fundamentals, set clear goals and expectations, and measure leading indicators of success. Additionally, leaders can encourage professional development, promote work-life balance, and celebrate small wins to create a culture that counteracts complacency.

#297: Has Employee Engagement Gotten Worse Jun 20, 2024

Show notes

Employee engagement has worsened, especially among younger generations. According to a Gallup survey, only 33% of employees were highly engaged by the end of 2023, and this number has continued to decline. Baby boomers have shown increased engagement, while Gen X and millennials have experienced declines. The decline in engagement among younger workers, particularly millennials and Gen Z, is a significant concern. Factors contributing to disengagement include lack of clarity, dissatisfaction, lack of development opportunities, and a disconnect from the organization's mission. Hybrid and remote workers are especially affected by disengagement. To address this issue, leaders must prioritize communication, establish clear expectations for in-person office time, personalize development plans, and value the opinions of younger team members.
