#322: Gen Z: Concious Unbossing

JOHN MAXWELL
About this episode

In this episode of the Maxwell Leadership Executive Podcast, hosts Perry Holley and Chris Goede explore the evolving landscape of leadership, particularly focusing on Generation Z's unique approach to leadership roles. They discuss the concept of 'conscious unbossing,' where Gen Z consciously opts out of traditional management roles in favor of personal development and influence without authority. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding individual aspirations, creating personal development plans, and fostering a positive organizational culture to engage and retain younger talent. The hosts provide actionable strategies for leaders to connect with multi-generational teams and redefine leadership in a way that resonates with Gen Z's values and preferences.
