463. Unfairly Labeled - How Your Workplace Can Benefit From Ditching Generational Stereotypes
The ONE Thing
Life Stage vs Generational Differences in Work Expectations
Differences in work expectations are primarily attributed to life stage rather than generational disparities. Early and later career stages feature distinct priorities, with evidence suggesting baby boomers at 20 shared similarities with today's millennials. As career stages evolve, so too does work ethic and employee expectations. The transformation in communication from top-down strategies to open, multi-directional information sharing has heightened organizational transparency, altering leadership dynamics. The prevalence of social media has exposed internal company cultures and practices, with today's employees more aware of their rights and company cultures, leading to exponentially rising expectations. Gen Z's perceived high maintenance is a reflection of this shift, where public sharing of employment experiences necessitates that older generations adapt their management styles and practices. It reveals a sense of entitlement from older leaders who expect younger employees to accept outdated practices, highlighting the need for evolution in leadership methods to meet current employee expectations.
