9 trillion dollars.
That’s what employee disengagement will cost the global economy 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 in 2025 (Gallup, 2025).

The #1 driver?
(Spoiler, it’s not laziness!)

It’s 𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭.

But I’m not here to point fingers.

Since the pandemic, managers are being asked to do the impossible: cut costs, restructure, drive digital transformation, integrate AI, and continue generating growth for the business.

All while their teams ask for: more flexibility, well-being, purpose, and let’s not forget, psychological safety.

Most managers can’t keep up. They’re burning out and disengaging.

And since 70% of team engagement is directly tied to the manager, their teams quickly follow.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐬?

When companies invest in leadership training, manager disengagement drops.

- They feel more equipped to lead and face challenges,
- They’re re-motivated by the impact it has on their team,
- They see that their company cares about their well-being and

Do you tell others how to do their job?


Micromanagement isn’t leadership.

When leaders doubt their ability to lead, they compensate by controlling others.

🔬 Studies show micromanagement stems from insecurity.

What it is:
A self-protection mechanism.
 
What it 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺 isn’t:
A performance driver.


🔄 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐱:
Micromanagers think control increases quality.

But research shows the opposite:

↳ Teams become passive.

↳ Creativity drops.

↳ People stop thinking for themselves. 
(For the nerds, the fancy psychological term is 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬.)

↳ Decision-making slows because everyone waits for approval.

↳ People stop having ideas because every idea gets second-guessed.


Here's the thing:
Most people don’t need supervision.
They need clarity and direction.

🔁 Control → “Do it exactly like this.”
🔁 Clarity → “Here’s the goal. I trust you to figure it out. Btw, I'm here if you need help.” 

When people understand the destination, they don’t need you steering every move.

👉 Replace control with context.
👉 Replace supervision with high standards.
👉 Replace oversight with ownership.
 

Your job isn’t to control the work.
It’s to make the work clear.

Why?

Because they act 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 they feel ready.

They move even when the path isn’t clear.

They don’t wait for permission and take responsibility for shaping outcomes.

Studies show that high agency:
🔹 boosts persistence, learning speed, and performance.
🔹 fuels intrinsic motivation and mastery.
🔹 is a core ingredient of grit.
🔹 strengthens self-regulation and goal progress.


High-agency people refuse to outsource their future to circumstances.

6 Science-Backed Habits to Sharpen Your Mindset:

If it costs you your mental health, it’s too expensive.


Research shows chronic stress reduces:
🔹 Creativity
🔹 Decision-making accuracy
🔹 Emotional regulation
🔹 Long-term performance

Moderate pressure sharpens your focus (Yerkes–Dodson law).

But past a certain threshold, performance drops significantly.

That’s when stress becomes damaging.

It pushes you out of your optimal performance zone and into burnout territory.

Your nervous system has limits.
Respect them.

👉 What’s one habit that protects your energy when stress ramps up?

Performance is socially contagious.
 

A-players don’t want to work with “OK” people.

They want to work with people who stretch them.

🔬 Research on thousands of employees found:

→ Sitting next to a high performer increases your performance by ~10–15%. 
→ Sitting next to a toxic / low performer decreases it by up to 30%. 


This means that who you hire and how you nurture their talent matters.

It’s about creating the conditions for 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥.

Because great people:
🔹 Elevate the room
🔹 Expect high standards
🔹 Crave autonomy + sharp thinking

They don’t want to:
🔻 Be micromanaged
🔻 Carry dead weight
🔻 Fight to make excellence matter


Ask yourself this:

If I brought in someone exceptional tomorrow…
Would my top talent be 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝? Or 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝?

Struggling to concentrate on one task at a time?


A Microsoft study found that humans now have an 8-second attention span.

That’s shorter than a goldfish.

Depressing? Maybe.

But it’s not that simple.

Your brain 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴 to wander.

It drifts into thoughts, memories, and daydreams.

This is called 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝-𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 (unoriginal, I know!), and it’s a double-edged sword:

✅ Sparks creativity
✅ Solves problems subconsciously
❌ Clouds judgment
❌ Fuels anxiety


So how do you sharpen focus when it counts?

Here are 5 science-backed attention-training tools:

🗓️ 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞-𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠
➝ Finish tasks before switching. Open loops drain attention.
➝ Divide your day into 4 blocks to manage momentum. If you're behind in one quarter, you can catch up in the next.

📵 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐲𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐞
➝ Out of sight, out of mind: leave your phone in another room.
➝ Mute all but essential notifications.
➝ Close all unnecessary tabs for the task at hand.

🧘‍♀️ 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬
➝ Just 15 minutes of meditation improves clarity.
➝ No time? Try 2 minutes of Box Breathing (Inhale 4s → Hold 4s → Exhale 4s → Hold 4s).

📄 𝐈𝐟-𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠
➝ “If I feel distracted, then I’ll pause and take a breath.”

👣 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐬
➝ Short walks and stretches recharge your prefrontal cortex and improve sustained attention.


In a world built for distraction, focus is a superpower.

7 Japanese Habits for Gentler Living

Want higher-performing teams?
Focus on these 3 habits:


🔬 Research shows that when leaders do three simple things, trust and performance consistently go up:

1/ 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧
↳ People inherently search for meaning.
↳ A compelling vision creates direction, alignment, and energy.

2/ 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬
↳ Inspiration comes from the ability to connect today’s work with tomorrow’s possibilities.
↳ When people understand why something matters, effort turns into commitment.

3/ 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭
↳ No one thrives under one-size-fits-all leadership.
↳ People thrive when they feel seen, understood, and supported, based on their unique needs.


These three behaviors drive:
🔹 Higher trust
🔹 Greater commitment
🔹 Better performance
🔹 More willingness to go “above and beyond”

If you want stronger results:
➝ 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐲 the vision
➝ 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐞 effort
➝ 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 the individual

👉 Which one do you rely on most as a leader?

➕ By the way, I (Corina Taban) share science-backed strategies for better thinking, stronger influence & smarter leadership.

🔬 Study: Bass & Riggio (2006).

Are you looking to boost performance?


🔬 Gallup analysed 2.7 million employees across 96 countries.

They found that engaged teams have: 
+21% profitability 
+17% productivity 
–59% turnover

Here’s the kicker:

70% of a team’s engagement is directly tied to their manager.

Not to ping-pong tables, free coffee, offsites, or motivation apps. 

𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐭𝐨:
✅ deliver clarity instead of micromanaging 
✅ create psychological safety instead of fear 
✅ coach instead of control

𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤:
🔹 higher ownership 
🔹 faster decision-making
🔹 sustainable motivation

If you want to boost performance, invest in leaders before you invest in perks.

How to future proof your career

Is team engagement slipping through your fingers?


Call it quiet quitting. 

Call it coasting.

Call it what you want, but here’s what it looks like:

No ideas. No questions. No spark.

They haven’t quit.

It’s much worse: they’ve stopped giving a flying f*$@.

🔬 𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘱𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘥𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘴 𝘢 20–30% 𝘥𝘳𝘰𝘱 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦.

People stop contributing because it doesn’t matter to them anymore.

And they only stay because finding another job in the current market is hard. 


💡 To re-engage your team, try this:

1. 𝐀𝐬𝐤 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞.
Instead of “Any questions?” try “What’s one angle we haven’t explored yet?”

2. 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭-𝐨𝐟-𝐭𝐡𝐞-𝐛𝐨𝐱 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠.
Reward curiosity, creativity, and disagreement, not just deliverables.

3. 𝐑𝐞-𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤.
People re-engage when they see how their work impacts the company’s mission.

4. 𝐀𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬.
80% of airtime = you? You’re not listening. Shut up and share the mic.

5. 𝐑𝐮𝐧 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐬 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 1-𝐨𝐧-1𝐬.
Ask: How are you feeling? What’s draining your energy? What’s fueling it?
 

Silence is rarely neutral.
Use it as feedback.
