Brad & Steve Is Gen Z a Problem

from Blue-Collar BS

The Myth of Unmanageable Gen Z EmployeesWhy does the majority of management label Gen Z as the most challenging generation to work with? We are not buying into the buzz that Gen Z is the toughest generation to manage in the workplace. We passionately challenge a Resume Builder article that claims an astonishing 74-75% of managers find Gen Z the most difficult generation to manage. Are they truly lacking skills and motivation, or are we just witnessing a clash of outdated workplace norms with the Gen Z way of thinking?Could it be that it's not Gen Z that needs to conform but rather the traditional workplace needs to adapt to the Gen Z way of thinking? Join us as we question the status quo of workplace expectations and efficiency. We discuss how this generation's distinct structure might impact their adaptability in the workforce. Spoiler alert: we firmly believe that expectations should be result-oriented, and businesses could greatly benefit from embracing this paradigm shift. So, tune in for an interesting conversation about bridging the generational gap in the workplace. Get ready to rethink your stance on Gen Z's place in the workforce.Highlights:2:20- Brad and Steve point out some issues with an article from Resumebuilder.com about how GenZ is perceived by older generations. Discussing how part of the issue is how leadership is not setting expectations from the start. 4:49 - Discussion of the differences in how GenZ was raised and how it’s affecting the perceptions in the workplace. 8:50 - Discussion of how GenZ might need to work on adaptability. Steve Doyle:WebsiteLinkedInEmailBrad Herda:WebsiteLinkedInEmailThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrpOP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy
