Quiet Quitting. To quietly stop doing more than you have to. I’ve been thinking about this a lot, reading articles, and listening to smart people. All this has landed in five questions for you as a manager.

It’s clear you WANT it, but can you demand it? Isn’t it then better to clearly state what your expectations are of the service from the start?

Team Antoni Explains
In the realm of management, the phenomenon of Quiet Quitting has been gaining attentionโa subtle disengagement where individuals cease doing more than the bare minimum. Antoni Lacnai reflects on this concept and poses five crucial questions for leaders.
Why Expect People to Do More Than They Are Paid For?
While the desire for employees to go above and beyond is evident, is it realistic to expect it without clearly articulating these expectations from the beginning?
The Power of Praise and Recognition: How Much is Enough?
Research underscores the link between positive feedback and employee engagement. How can leaders strike the right balance in praising and recognizing their staff?
Breaking the “Work-Life Balance” Paradigm: Can Support Prevail?
Instead of adhering to the “work-life balance” notion, what if leaders focused on supporting those facing challenges? How could this shift impact the overall workplace atmosphere?
Does Everyone Buy Into Your Company’s Vision?
Does every member of your team truly embrace the values, mission, and vision, or are there those solely motivated by compensation? How does this dynamic affect organizational culture?
Fostering Growth, Influence, and Enjoyment: What About Core Needs?
Beyond accomplishing tasks, how are leaders nurturing the fundamental needs of competence, autonomy, and belonging for their employees? How can these factors contribute to overall job satisfaction?
Antoni Lacnai encourages leaders to take these questions into their next management meeting, fostering an inclusive environment by involving employees and tapping into their collective intelligence. By addressing these considerations, organizations can pave the way for a more engaged and motivated workforce.
