About this Episode:
If your leadership team is struggling to keep younger employees engaged, you’ve likely heard the common complaint that Gen Z is simply “lazy” or disengaged. But the reality running beneath the surface is far more complex: we are navigating a massive, systemic collapse in workplace emotional agility.
In this episode of One Spark Away, host Andreea Andrei sits down with clinical psychologist, systemic psychotherapist, and corporate HR specialist Simona Luca to break down why traditional “Command and Control” management styles are actively driving talented people into burnout and silent quitting.
Simona shares deep insights from both the therapeutic couch and the corporate tech sector to explain how attachment styles impact workplace collaboration, how global emotional intelligence scores are shifting, and why micromanagement completely destroys inner motivation. Whether you are an executive trying to scale an empowered corporate culture, a manager looking to replace tension with psychological safety, or a parent trying to foster healthy emotional communication at home, this episode gives you the practical, human-to-human roadmap.
