GEN Z, are they committed? Or can we lead them better?
🎧 Struggling to connect with the new generation in your workplace?
Gen Z are the future of work.
The sooner you understand them, the better results they’ll bring you. The happier they’ll be. The more they’ll feel like they belong.
They are your greatest asset , especially if you aren’t utilising technology and communication the way you should be.
I’ve been doing a deep dive into what the best leadership thinkers are saying about Gen Z.
Three podcast episodes every leader needs to hear right now:
1. Simon Sinek — A Bit of Optimism
Gen Z in the Workplace with Jonah & David Stillman
Stop leading Gen Z the way you needed to be led. Lead them the way they need to be led.
Empathy first. Focus on outcomes, not the “how.” Context explains conduct — remember that the next time you feel frustrated with a younger team member.
2. Andy Stanley Leadership Podcast
How to Lead Gen Z Well with Dr. Tim Elmore
Tim Elmore said something that hit hard:
“Gen Z is the sandpaper on my leadership I didn’t know I needed.”
He also shares the A-LEG feedback framework:
→ Ask before you tell
→ Listen — their #1 request is to have a voice
→ Empathize
→ Guide
3. Maxwell Leadership Executive Podcast
#324 — Gen Z: What You Need to Know to Lead Them
Gen Z isn’t unmotivated. They’re differently motivated. This episode covers how to onboard, develop, and retain them — and why coaching beats bossing every single time.
The thread through all three?
Gen Z wants to be heard, led with purpose, and developed, not just managed.
The leaders who figure that out early will have a serious edge.
Are you leading Gen Z right now? What’s your biggest challenge with them? I would love to here what’s wins you have had below, or even what’s challenges you are facing.
