Definition

Opposed to or inhibiting dynamic change, energy, or forceful movement; static or passive.

Etymology

From anti- (against) + dynamic (from Greek dynamis, 'power/force'). Rare compound describing opposition to active energy.

Kelly Says

In business, antidynamic cultures kill innovation—when companies resist change and punish risk-taking, all that creative potential gets suppressed, and younger employees leave.
