The Cancer of Passivity

Are You Passive? Is Your Team Passive?

Many organisations are passive and are suffering from the disease of passivity. Is your organisation suffering from this disease?

Many organizations talk about creating a positive culture in the workplace. Yet, leaders face the daily challenge of deviation from the organization's cultural standard. It takes more than just communication and town-hall meetings to address cultural deviations - it requires the step of personal confrontation. By choosing to remain passive, the cancer of "anti-culture" will spread and before you know it - what began as a point behavior becomes a negative culture.

Watch this video by Joseph Tan, CEO of Leaderonomics GoodMonday to find out how you can address this issue of passivity.

Remote work has a way of exposing weak planning very quickly. At first, everything might seem manageable. The equipment is loaded, the team is ready, and the job plan looks solid. But once work begins miles away from suppliers, service stations, or quick replacements, even a small problem can create major delays. Unlike urban job sites, remote areas offer very little margin for error. Forgetting one important item or underestimating fuel needs can quickly turn into hours of downtime. The reality is that remote jobs rarely fall behind because of one huge disaster. More often, things go wrong in small, predictable ways.
