In my opinion, that’s a mistake we have to correct in the corporate world. We have to make it more inviting and give these individuals a voice because that’s what they’re trying to do. They’re trying to establish a voice that says, ‘Hear me now.’” - Jim Robinson, (3:44) “I’m suggesting that we have to evolve in how we manage people. A person that’s quiet quitting isn’t quiet about anything. They’re being extremely vocal, and we have to pay attention to what that truly means. They’re speaking loud, just not to us.” - Jim Robinson, (8:17) “It goes back to they’re trying to find a voice and for whatever reason, they feel as though in hurting somebody else they will get a voice. So we have to make sure we have a dialogue to help them find a way to win. Quitting is not a win. It’s a complete disservice to themselves.” - Jim Robinson, (19:23) “There’s no privilege in being a leader. The quiet quitter thinks there’s a privilege being the one with all the responsibilities, but it’s heavy. There’s a lot of leaders that are treading lightly on thin ice, but true leaders rock the boat, make a difference, and change some lives.” - Jim Robinson, (25:33)
