GEN Z's 'CONSCIOUS UNBOSSING' SHOULD BE A WAKE-UP CALL FOR BUSINESSES
As the oldest Gen Zers approach their 30s, they're taking a Gwenyth Paltrow approach to work: Instead of "consciously uncoupling" from their spouses, workplace culture experts say they're "conscious unbossing" at the office. Gen Z prefers to avoid leadership roles at work in favor of a better work-life balance. And this preference should be a wake-up call for corporate leaders who need to develop the next generation of leaders to keep their businesses running. Boomers have traditionally preferred a hierarchical leadership style and stayed in one workplace for many years. Gen X bridged the gap between boomers and millennials, with a slightly flatter corporate structure and more autonomous work styles, and millennials, who prioritize collaboration, will take on leadership roles — albeit reluctantly. Gen Z is 1.7 times more likely than previous generations "to avoid management roles to protect their well-being," according to research by the management consulting company Development Dimensions International.
