Why don’t younger generations want to be leaders? The answer isn’t that they lack ambition, it’s that they don’t want the kind of leadership they see modeled today. Long hours, toxic cultures, fear-driven managers, and positional power aren’t inspiring the next wave of leaders.
We'll dive into generational leadership, mentorship, and the shift from positional power to true influence. You’ll hear why Gen Z and millennials are still deeply interested in leadership, but on their own terms.
We’ll also talk about how senior leaders can mentor and share knowledge without fear of being replaced, and why leadership is a verb, not a title.
