Why Gen Z is Quitting Management (And What To Do About It) with Christy Pretzinger

Rethinking Leadership with Christy Pretzinger Today's workplace is in a trust crisis. Gen Z is arriving in full force—and they’re not buying into the same management models we grew up with. They’ve seen the burnout, the betrayal, and the BS. So they’re opting out. Not out of leadership, but out of management as we know it. In this episode of Marc Haine Live, I sit down with Christy Pretzinger, the Chief Better Officer herself, to dive into a bold new vision for growing the next generation of leaders: The Better Leader Project. Forget IQ and EQ—Christy introduces us to BQ (the Better Quotient): our personal capacity for improvement, for showing up more human, and for building the kind of workplaces where people don’t just survive—they thrive. About Christy Christy has grown her first company, WG Content, from a modest freelance writing business into a nationally recognized healthcare content consultancy. But her greatest accomplishment is the company's culture, which rests on four core values — empowered, curious, kind, and fun. Under Christy's strategic and visionary leadership, WG Content is a place where employees are appreciated, respected and recognized for their contributions. A company where people grow professionally while building a meaningful life outside of work. In short, an organization where everyone knows they matter. Many years ago, Christy had a coach tell her, "Your business is you, and you are your business. It won't grow until you do." Those words led Christy on a path of continual learning, developing the vital skill of self-awareness and all that goes with it. That growth led to the creation of The BETTER Leader Project, a program designed to foster self-awareness and BETTER leadership in others. Christy is a popular podcast speaker and is co-author of the best-selling book, "Your Cultural Balance Sheet: Keys to creating an environment where people can thrive." She's also a longtime member of Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO), a global nonprofit comprising business leaders from 65 countries.
