principal disruptor @ soul on fire consulting i’ve got a different take on leadership

newsflash: when your org STILL doesn’t meet the needs of millennials, you ain’t even ready for gen z… i’ve been saying this for YEARS…mostly met with blank stares…gen z gives ZERO FUX about longevity and paying dues for rewards afar. and i mean zero. when middle class standards don’t meet living wage requirements, and nearly half of gen z is side hustling to make ends meet…it begs the question: what exactly does loyalty in the workplace offer besides struggle?! generations that came before us were willing. because you could eventually reach a certain level of stability. that gold watch and retirement cake hit different when you own a house, paid pennies for college, and have a nice little nest egg to supplement your guaranteed social security. however. when you ain’t offering much beyond headaches, workplace trauma, and empty talk about fake values?! nah man. i choose gig economy and entrepreneurship…and i’m a millennial. i give exponentially more fux than gen z (or gen alpha)…and i’ve been running short for YEARSSSSS. modern workforce goals will successfully retrofit the workforce for the 1950s. and i get it. achieving goals is great. and it feels good. AND. sometimes you gotta look around you and get that the goal ain’t goaling anymore. this would be one of those times. times are changing, whether your leadership is or not. your strategy cannot be rooted in systemic origins. and it certainly shouldn’t be coming from folx who remember more of the 1900s than the 2000s. it just shouldn’t. innovation doesn’t have lengthy experience, wordy explanations, or long history in shit. it has brilliant insights, real-world experience, and relevance to TODAY. if your strategy looks and sounds FAMILIAR, that isn’t strategy…that’s habitual. get with the times, or get left behind. simple as that. #leadershipmatters #innovationculture #strategicforesight #relevance #thinkdifferently #workbetter #levelup #dobetter #genz #millenials #smarternotharder #challengethestatusquo #WE
