Understanding the friction between managers and Gen Z
Most managers are doing their best. They give feedback, run their 1:1s, even throw in ‘no cap’, ‘low-key’ and ‘slay’.
Then one of their star up-and-comers complains about staying past 5pm a few days in a row, and they completely lose it.
An HR team somewhere warned you about saying the wrong thing in 1:1s.
So now you've got a generation that values honesty and authenticity, looking for you to be straight with them.
Meanwhile you've been coached to be soft and nurturing. To them you seem vague and evasive while you think you're giving them what they need.
The great news is, it's a solvable problem.
A relatable coach/mentor, who has 'been there done that', can completely change an average work situation in a matter of weeks.
Being direct and honest can be tough. Hand over those tough conversations you've been mulling over, and we will hand you back a powerhouse team member.
I have no stake in the politics or hierarchy, which levels the playing field and makes the conversations much more productive.
1:1 conversations that are personal.
