In this brief segment, the speaker cites a recent Gallup poll indicating that two‑thirds of workers consider themselves disengaged—characterized by unhappiness, mindless routine, or even sabotage.

This shift, he claims, eliminates the disengagement mindset and aligns individuals with the organization’s goals.

See, in the best organizations, the best employees don't think they're employees, and it's not because they're delusional. It's because in the best organizations, people stop thinking like employees when they start to feel like teammates.
