The Tiktok generation is taking over! This generation has not lived in a world without technology, has spending power exceeding $100 billion, and possesses an 8 second attention span on average, according to Business Insider. With this pertinent information, companies better be alert for these future leaders.
At Minetum, we offer a program for leadership development, which seeks to train managers on ways to lead more effectively in our evolving business environment. As this generation begins to enter the workforce, Minetum offers managers specialized techniques to lead this group of individuals for various workplace situations.
According to McKinsey and Company, Generation Z is roughly defined as the generation born between the years of 1995 and 2010. They are a group of individuals that are quite distinct from any of the generations that have preceded them. Specifically, their habits and behaviors are rooted in their desire for truth. They embrace their individuality and value communicating through open dialogue and center their decision making behaviors around their morals and ethics.
These attributes are important to keep in mind as they shape the ways in which businesses should approach leading this generation. Minetum offers managers 3 exclusive tips to leading Gen Z:
- Communicate all the facts
As a generation that has the Internet at their fingertips, it is important that employees are presented with all the information. This group of individuals are practical, and information is key to earning and keeping the trust of this generation. Simply by incorporating open, authentic dialogue into the workplace, managers will be able to better guide and influence Gen Z.
- Embrace individualism
The present philosophy of this generation is embedded in openness and acceptance of each person’s unique traits. This generation values expression of themselves and deflects traditional labels and stereotyping established by previous generations. By supporting rather than suppressing individuality in the workplace, managers will be able to better impact and connect with Gen Z. - Maintain respectable morals and ethics
More than any previous generation, Gen Z remembers a company’s unethical practices, which can decrease motivation and morale among these employees in the company. Being transparent in a company’s actions is important to Gen Z because the practice of ‘canceling’ a brand or a company has become a trend of this generation’s culture. By using ethical practices in the workplace, these individuals will be more trusting as well as loyal to the mission of the company.
Through Minetum’s Leadership Development program, managers will be equipped with the tools and techniques to develop their leadership skills for this new generation. As society continues to evolve, it is important to grow and pursue opportunities to improve ourselves and the ways we guide our employees. There is not a sole way to lead employees, so our program will enable managers to become more flexible and adaptable in their approach depending on the goals and mission of the organization.
