Entrepreneur posted a helpful article today. Generation Z, born between 1995-2010, comprise 20% of the workforce. This percentage will increase, for many remain students.
Those of us leading Gen Z and working to develop them into leaders need all the help we can get. 🙂 Here are 6 important things to know:
- They are Natives of the Digital Age.
- They have Much Social and Environmental Awareness.
- They are Pragmatic and Realistic.
- They are Adaptable and Resilient.
- They are Creative and Self-Taught.
- They Work in the Realm of Their Passions.
This generation has much growing and development before them. The list will morph in years to come. For now, this is a helpful starting place.
Do not forget the best source of information: The people themselves! Spend time with Gen Z. They have a great deal to share; we have a great deal to learn.
