Description
The Cost of Performative Purpose
Workforce cynicism is not an attitude problem; it is a rational response to the gap between stated values and operational reality. When purpose exists only on signage but vanishes during budget allocations or performance reviews, trust erodes. This erosion manifests as quiet quitting, disengagement, and operational drag. To secure a lasting legacy, leaders must move beyond messaging and restructure the mechanics of work.
