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.

There was a time when digital growth was relatively straightforward—rank for the right keywords, run paid campaigns, and scale traffic. That model is shifting. Buyers don’t browse the way they used to. They ask questions, they look for options, and often form opinions before ever clicking a link. This shift has drastically changed digital marketing. Growth is calculated by visibility, but by where and how that visibility shows up—especially inside AI-powered environments like ChatGPT and emerging answer engines. For companies focused on revenue, the implication is simple: if your brand isn’t present in the answers shaping early-stage decisions, you’re not part of the conversation.
