About Michael Wozniak
Michael Wozniak draws from leadership roles at Pepsi, the NBA during the Dream Team era, and multiple business ventures to help COOs, founders, and leadership teams solve the real issues slowing performance culture drift, misalignment, and disengagement. His writing voice is direct, practical, and designed to deliver value quickly for leaders operating under real pressure. His book makes for great book club discussions, workshops, and meetings.
Your team isn’t disengaging they’re drifting. And it’s costing you.
Nobody wakes up thinking, “Today’s the day I check out at work.” But it happens. And it starts small: a boss calls them out in a meeting. Someone else takes credit for their work. Late nights stack up with no recognition. No support. No trust. Just more politics.
Then one day, they mentally check out.
They didn’t quit. But they’re already gone.
That’s when the real damage begins.
Employee drift happens when trust erodes, ownership fades, and leaders fail to adapt. It’s the silent breakdown of workplace culture where organizational change leadership never takes root because no one believes it will.
