As leaders, managers have always been tasked with the responsibility of motivating and driving their team members to achieve success. However, this challenge has become especially pronounced in recent years as more Gen Z'ers enter the workforce. As a leader, it is essential that you not only understand this generation’s unique traits and beliefs but also possess the skills necessary to manage them in an effective manner. In order to help you hone your craft further and be fully equipped to work alongside Gen Z colleagues, here are some key leadership competencies needed for managing this tech-savvy cohort of young professionals.
In recent years, the workforce has been changing rapidly, and the rise of Gen Z employees has brought about new challenges for managers. Gen Z, also known as the "iGeneration," are individuals born between the mid-1990s and the mid-2000s. They are digital natives who grew up with technology and social media, and they have unique expectations, values, and preferences that differ from those of previous generations. As such, managers must adapt their leadership style to be more effective in leading this group of employees.
According to a recent survey conducted by One Poll, nearly 75% of managers said that Gen Z is more difficult to work with than other generations. Moreover, 12% of managers said they fired a Gen Z employee in their first week of work, and being too easily offended is often to blame. This finding highlights the importance of understanding the unique needs and preferences of Gen Z employees to ensure that they are motivated, engaged, and productive in the workplace.
To be more effective in leading Gen Z employees, managers must change their leadership style in several ways. First and foremost, managers must adopt a coaching approach to leadership.
