As a CEO observing the dynamics between generations in the workplace, the author contrasts the aspirations of Gen X and Gen Z. While Gen X sought stability and ownership, Gen Z values purpose and flexibility. This generation is reshaping workplace expectations, emphasizing autonomy and meaningful engagement over traditional metrics like salary. To effectively lead Gen Z, organizations must foster an environment that supports their desires for purpose-driven work and the ability to choose how to accomplish their tasks. Understanding these nuances is crucial for leaders today.
Gen Z isn't inclined to hustle for higher salaries unless they find meaning in their work, prioritizing purpose and flexibility in their careers.
Leaders can support Gen Z by embracing their expectations for autonomy, allowing them to dictate not just what tasks to complete, but how to approach those tasks.
