Posted on | by Kelvin

 

Culture, Engagement, and Results
The article by Kantor & Streitfeld from the New York Times in this week’s readings discusses culture and leadership at Amazon.
Applying leadership concepts we have covered in this course, what is your perspective on how culture drove results at Amazon at the time this article was written?
The article was published in 2015. The impact of the pandemic and historically low unemployment rates have contributed to changes in what workers will tolerate in working conditions. Locate and post a news article published within the last year addressing how workers are reacting to unfavorable working conditions.
What should leaders do to address movements such as “quiet quitting” and successfully drive performance while balancing the needs of individuals?
