Eighth Edition of In the Lead Discusses Gen Z

Stillman School of Business's Department of Management and the Buccino Leadership Institute has released the Fall 2024 issue of In the Lead magazine, which focuses on Generation Z's integration into the workforce. This issue explores the evolving dynamics of a multi-generational workplace through articles contributed by professionals, industry leaders, and academic practitioners.

With Gen Z now representing 16% of the global workforce, contributors in this edition highlight the challenges and opportunities of leading this digital-native generation. Key articles include leadership strategies for guiding Gen Z, balancing modern digital preferences with traditional methods, and how businesses can retain and develop younger workers. Leaders like Reid Litman, a global director at Ogilvy Consulting, provide insights on fostering mentorship and creating workplaces that support both growth and collaboration between generations.

As In the Lead editor Ruchin Kansal remarks, "Through collaboration and understanding, Gen Z is poised to bring fresh perspectives and innovation into the workforce, paving the way for the future of leadership." This publication emphasizes communication, adaptability, and the importance of aligning Gen Z's expectations with organizational goals.

The issue also includes the results of the 2024 Future of Leadership Survey, a global survey focused on gathering insight and foresight on the future of leadership from 18-30-year-olds. This year's results include insights from more than thousands of respondents from North and South America, EU5, Asia, and Africa. Results of the 2024 survey will be included in the Fall 2024 In the Lead issue.
