The top 3 leadership skills needed to address the rise of Gen Z

Millennials, together with the even-younger Generation Zs now entering the workplace, are causing a management dilemma. These workers have vastly different expectations from the generations who came before: they want a clear path to success and fulfilment and are impatient in achieving their goals. If given the opportunity, their resourceful, energetic perspective has the power to disrupt entire industries. Yet what leadership capabilities are needed to truly unlock the potential of these generations?

Great Expectations

The new cohorts arriving in the workplace are less motivated by money than they are by factors such as the desire to learn and to progress; to be given responsibility at an early stage in their career, and to achieve job satisfaction and a wide variety of ‘experiences’ in their work. It is not about changing all business models and structures to appease this younger generation, but having the right leaders in place who are able to effectively manage these expectations and ensure all generations gel and work well together.
