TAKEAWAYS

  • “Collaboration overload” was the first instinct of most organizations that were moving into a remote environment in the early pandemic.” 

  • Leaders’ attempts to “intentionally create culture” led to overwhelming tech burnout and increased levels of stress, both of which contributed in part to the Great Resignation.

  • The Anti-Work Movement isn’t made up of people who don't want to work but rather people who want to work with intention and purpose.

  • Replace the idea of employee engagement with employee fulfillment, which is the extent to which your character and abilities are being fully developed at work. 

  • Every leader needs to be the Chief Reminding Officer, starting every meeting by stating the company’s purpose.

  • A culture shift is a co-created, co-owned process, but leaders need to pave the way.
