Leading the Next Generation | The GrowthPro Edge

from The GrowthPro Edge · host The GrowthPro Group

Watch on YouTube What do young leaders actually want from work, and are you giving it to them? In this episode of The GrowthPro Edge, Denise Killian sits down with leadership development expert Genevieve Sullivan of The GrowthPro Group for an honest conversation about what motivates today's emerging workforce, how leadership expectations are shifting, and what companies can do right now to better retain and develop young talent. This episode is a good reminder that leading a new generation isn't about cracking a generational code. It's about showing up for the individual in front of you — and remembering that someone had to teach you too. In this episode, we talk about: Why the "Gen Z is lazy" narrative misses what's really going on The "cliff dip" and what new grads are experiencing when they walk in the door How belonging, recognition, and growth are the real drivers of engagement The difference between managing someone and mentoring them How to build retention by focusing on the individual, not the generation label Why your first job as a new hire is really just to learn how to have a job Find your next edge at TheGrowthProGroup.com.
