🎙️ “Why Gen Z Doesn’t Want to Work for You (Unless You Fix This)” | Tim Elmore

Are today’s young professionals really entitled, lazy, and fragile, or are they calling bullsh**t on leadership that refuses to evolve?

💥 Episode Summary:

In Part 2 of this explosive two-part series, Dr. Tim Elmore and Dov Baron rip the lid off one of the most urgent and misunderstood leadership dilemmas of our time: how to lead—and learn from—Generation Z.

Forget the tired tropes. Gen Z isn’t disengaged because they lack grit. They’re disengaged because they see through inauthentic leadership, misaligned values, and outdated management structures. In this episode, Elmore and Dov Baron break down why legacy leadership models are breaking down, how Gen Z is redefining work and influence, and what today’s leaders must do to stay relevant in a world where authority is earned—not inherited.

You’ll discover how emotional intelligence, psychological safety, and trust-building have become non-negotiables for a generation that won't settle for performative values or empty mission statements. If you’ve ever asked, “Why can’t we just get them to work harder?” This conversation is a mirror you can’t afford to look away from.

 

🔥 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why the leadership playbook that built your success will fail you with Gen Z.

• The hidden reason Gen Z sees your workplace as a threat, not an opportunity.

• How "drip irrigation", not fire hosing, builds real buy-in with young talent.

• The neuroscience of how Gen Z processes trust and influence (and why your authority triggers resistance).

• Why control and shame-based tactics kill motivation in this new era.

• How servant leadership and co-creation are no longer “nice to haves,” they’re survival skills.
