From "Quiet Quitting" to Engaged: The Missing Link (Ambiguous Grief: Part 1)

Is your team "Quiet Quitting" or are they mourning? Discover when traditional change management fails and how to fix an unknown root cause of disengagement: Ambiguous Grief.

In this episode of The Hard Skills, Dr. Mira Brancu reveals the hidden psychology destroying workplace culture: Ambiguous Grief. If you have recently gone through a restructure, layoff, or leadership change, your team isn't just "resisting change"—they are experiencing unresolved loss.

Dr. Brancu breaks down the critical differences between burnout, organizational trauma, and the "Glass Cliff" phenomenon affecting female leaders. Learn to identify the symptoms of "Resenteeism" and "Job Hugging" and stop mislabeling grief as performance issues. This is essential listening for executives, HR professionals, and mid-level managers navigating the psychological impact of corporate restructuring.
