Help Dealing With Quiet Quitting 

Companies are paying up to $15,000 per day to hear this consultant’s advice about quiet quitting.

Key Details

  • There is a massive demand for corporations to understand the phenomenon of quiet quitting—where workers put in the bare minimum without going above and beyond. 
  • Dean Lindsay is one of many consultants who offers solutions in what he sees are the six Ps of progress: pleasure, peace of mind, profit, prestige, pain avoidance, and power.
  • “Quiet Quitting Keynote Speaker is this search-savvy consultant’s new moniker, and he says it’s helping him get hired by companies sweating the latest buzzy term for employee disengagement,” says The Wall Street Journal. 
  • “When he saw the viral TikTok phrase had quickly migrated from social media to the C-suite, compelling many bosses to think about how to stop workers from checking out, he didn’t hesitate to rebrand, swapping out his name on LinkedIn for something catchy and of-the-moment,” the Journal continues. 
  • Many motivational speakers and consultants are moving into this space to try and address the phenomenon—seeing that corporations are desperate for answers. 

Why it’s important

Employers and employees are sensing the tension at the current moment and trying to find ways to make work more engaging and passionate for workers so that they do not fully check out. With the “great resignation” ongoing, employers need their employees and they need them eager and willing to work. 

Quiet quitting is not new. There have always been workers who show up for a paycheck and leave at the end of their shifts. The difference is that Gen Z is actively aware of the disconnect between where they are and where they want to be. They don’t find belonging in their company cultures and don’t believe in the work they’re doing.

“Mr. Lindsay, who has been advising businesses about corporate culture for two decades, says quiet quitting is closely related to burnout, work-life balance, stress management, and other phenomena that came before. His prescriptions are largely the same, too,” says the Journal. 

Companies have responded either by “quiet hiring” employees who are willing to work above and beyond the baseline or reducing employee significance, lightening the workload, and “quiet firing”.This productivity paranoia from employers has also led to a higher degree of employer surveillance.

Notable quote 

“Quiet Quitting Keynote Speaker & Award-winning business author, Dean Lindsay is a successful entrepreneur, a skilled business culture consultant, and a powerful business keynote speaker with a humorous and engaging approach… Each of Dean’s keynote presentations and fully customized sales, customer service, and leadership coaching programs-–in-person & virtual-–are designed to help reach each client’s desired outcomes,” says LinkedIn.

The last three years have resulted in quickly changing consumer trends as global events have forced customers to change previous habits, and for U.S. consumers, that is not likely to change. 

Key Details

  • This year, the threat of recession, repercussions from the war in Ukraine, and the beginning of a likely tumultuous presidential race will keep consumer trends shifting, according to the Consumer Trends Index (CTI). 
  • Understanding the trends can give businesses and marketers critical insights into how best to approach their customers and increase sales. 
  • Brand loyalty continues to affect consumer choices, and participation in loyalty programs is growing. 
  • More consumers want a personalized experience when purchasing from a brand they trust, but at the same time, a growing number of consumers value privacy when it comes to their data. 
  • Overall, U.S. consumers are more optimistic than the rest of the world about the economy, but many still worry about rising costs and overall economic uncertainty.

As cybersecurity issues become increasingly important, a new report from global cybersecurity firm ISTARI finds that CEOs must increase their cyber literacy. 

Key Details

  • Putting together a good team with a strong cybersecurity defense may not be enough to protect companies anymore—CEOs need to understand the information their cyber teams present to them.
  • While company leaders may not need to learn the ins and outs of cybersecurity, they need to expand their education and become more informed about their team’s strategy and approach to protecting the company. 
  • When asked to guess how many servers its company had. Executive team responses ranged from four to 250. But the answer is 4,000.
  • Focusing on prevention rather than a proactive approach to security could leave many companies with an exploitable weak point.

Why Chatbots Cite Incorrect Information

Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots—like ChatGPT and Bard AI—are significant and powerful technologies, but they struggle with accurately citing data and facts

Key Details

  • Google parent Alphabet lost $100 billion in valuation on February 8 following a demonstration of Bard AI, where the AI incorrectly stated the James Webb Space Telescope satellite had first photographed an extra-solar planet, not the European VLT satellite, in 2004.  
  • Beta-testers for the new ChatGPT-powered Bing search engine, by Microsoft, noticed the following week that the chatbot had the same issue, getting multiple answers completely incorrect and being unable to distinguish between fact and fiction. 
  • In a presentation last week, Microsoft executives announced a new suite of AI-powered features. They defended the technology as “usefully wrong,” claiming its new “Copilot” software is still powerful and dismissed small mistakes as easily fixed.
