The future begins with Z : nine strategies to lead Generation Z as they disrupt the workplace / Tim Elmore ; foreword by John C. Maxwell.
Generation Z has entered the workforce and are challenging leaders in ways they have never experienced before. Gen Zers often bring little work experience following college graduation, with parents encouraging them to focus on academics. Plus, having grown up on screens, they frequently bring lower levels of emotional intelligence than previous youth generations. Today, 4 in 5 hiring managers say Generation Z is the most difficult population to manage. Almost one in three avoid hiring them altogether. We cannot walk away from this challenge as these young teammates represent the future. While the boss has visibility on the past, they have visibility on the future. This resource, The Future Begins with Z, offers nine strategies to inspire and connect with the next generation of workers as they transform the workforce. Some of those strategies involve: How to attract and onboard them so they'll want to stay; How to offer firm feedback to a fragile young employee; How to uniquely motivate and incentivize them; How to cultivate full engagement in Gen Z teammates; How to equip them to manage their mental health challenges.
