Corporate Consultants Recommend Cultivating Mild Workplace Angst

The revelation that genuine contentment in one's current professional capacity is, in fact, a problem demanding immediate intervention has sent ripples of calculated panic through the C-suite. Corporate consultants now posit a satisfied leader is dangerously complacent, potentially missing the vital, growth-inducing frisson of existential dread that fuels the truly ambitious.

The new paradigm, enthusiastically embraced by forward-thinking HR departments, suggests cultivating a modest but persistent form of workplace anxiety. This isn't the soul-crushing despair of a looming layoff, mind you, but rather a gentle, almost meditative unease that whispers, "Is this *all* there is?" It's a proactive measure to ensure no talent accidentally achieves professional nirvana, thus short-circuiting the endless cycle of career development and upskilling – the very engine of modern corporate progress.

What, after all, is a perfectly happy employee but a missed opportunity for a LinkedIn learning module or a 360-degree feedback session? The future of corporate culture, it appears, hinges on ensuring no one is *too* happy, lest they cease chasing the next elusive rung and, God forbid, merely do their job well.
