When I first went overseas to Poland in 1997, I thought I knew how the media business worked. I had some experience selling national radio time in New York and thought I could teach the Poles who, after 50 years of communism, hadn’t had much opportunity to learn how a modern ad market functioned. I was soon disappointed. Whenever I would explain a simple principle, they would ask me, “why?

There are two mindsets surrounding the concepts of transformation and change. First, there is fear that comes with transformation and change. The feeling of not having control over something in your personal or professional life can be daunting, because it leaves us feeling helpless. And the second mindset is an apathetic, hands-off one. This is where the concepts of transformation and change seem so insurmountable that we accept them passively.

When it comes to “quiet quitting,” the bigger issue may be a lack of purpose and meaning in your company and culture.

What is more likely to kill you: A shark? Or a cow? Most people would be much more afraid of a shark. After all, they are known to be an alpha predator, and many movies show how easily they will kill anyone that comes to close. Indeed, a 2010 survey conducted in the USA found that shark attacks were one of the top 6 most feared ways to die. However, in the last 500 years only 1,909 confirmed shark attacks occurred worldwide (as of the 2015 research paper ); of the 737 that happened in the United
