THE REFRAME

Everyone's calling it

"Quiet Quitting".
That's the wrong diagnosis.

The conversation in boardrooms across South Africa has settled on a comfortable scapegoat: disengaged staff who simply refuse to put in discretionary effort. But disengagement is not a cause; it is a symptom of architectural failure in leadership.

18%
of South African employees are engaged at work, down five points.
Gallup, State of the Global Workplace

When more than eight in ten people in your organization are operating in neutral gear, you do not have a workforce motivation problem. You have an alignment problem that standard performance incentives cannot touch.

"Your people did not lose their drive. They lost the connective tissue between their effort and your executive vision."
