About this episode

Kirk shares three practical strategies to re-engage teams and combat quiet quitting.

Lately, you’ve probably seen the term "quiet quitting" all over the headlines.

But let’s be honest, quiet quitting is really just another word for disengagement. Whether your team feels undervalued, overworked, or just disconnected from the "why" behind their work, that lack of engagement hits your organization's performance hard. In this episode, Kirk shares three practical strategies you can implement right away to re-engage your team and start reversing that trend.
