Did you know that 70% of employee engagement variation is driven by manager behavior? Join Dr. mOe Anderson and career strategist Julia Rock as they explore the intricacies of workplace dynamics, from tackling disengagement and 'pass-along syndrome' to redefining personal success and establishing boundaries."

Memorable Quotes from Julia Rock:

  1. "It's really about what I want right now and what does success look like to me today."
  2. "Giving yourself permission to say, hey, I'm a different person now, so it's okay that my view of success isn't the same as it used to be."

Key Points:

  1. Workplace Disengagement vs. Burnout: Understanding the difference between disengagement and burnout is crucial. Disengagement often arises from misalignment with personal goals and values, while burnout is more about exhaustion from overwork.
  2. Pass-Along Syndrome: This phenomenon occurs when leaders offload tasks without proper vetting, leading to burnout among high performers and women of color. Strategies to manage this include creating a dialogue around priorities and setting boundaries.
  3. Redefining Success: Success should align with current life goals and values. Detaching personal identity from career achievements allows individuals to pursue a more meaningful life purpose.
  4. Importance of Appreciation: A simple "thank you" can significantly boost workplace morale. Middle managers should prioritize appreciation to maintain employee engagement and retention.
