This episode has a fantastic conversation with Dr. Tim Elmore and explores the nuances and realities in working with Gen Z.  Highlighting the importance of understanding individual circumstances rather than making assumptions is one of the key elements Dr. Elmore brings forward.   He emphasizes the need for empathy and communication to bridge the gap between different work cultures of the generations.   He also says that we need to get curious instead of furious and fascinated instead of frustrated.  His new book, The Future Begins with Z: Nine Strategies to Lead Generation Z as They DISRUPT the Workplace is out now!  I highly recommend that you go get it because it is full of such great strategies.   Takeaways   There's a perception that younger generations don't want to work. Many young people juggle multiple jobs to make ends meet. Personal circumstances can greatly influence work behavior. Asking questions can lead to better understanding. Generational differences in work ethic can be bridged with empathy. Younger generations may have a different but strong work ethic. Communication is key to understanding work motivations. Assumptions can lead to misunderstandings in the workplace. Recognizing individual challenges can foster better work relationships. Tapping into the passion of younger workers can enhance productivity.   Want more info about Emerging Leader Academy?
