Changing emotions: Generation Z and the new world of work
Generation Z is bringing a breath of fresh air to the world of work - and also new challenges. With different values, expectations and a pronounced empathy, they are challenging managers to question old patterns. But how can you as a manager respond to this new dynamic? The answer lies in emotional leadership and sovereignty. In this article, I will show you why emotions are the key to successful collaboration with Generation Z.
Generation Z: Who they are and what they want
Generation Z, born from the mid-1990s onwards, ticks differently than previous generations. These young talents are not just looking for a job, but for meaning and identification in their work. Values such as sustainability, authenticity and emotional connection are crucial for them. Managers who respond to these needs not only create a pleasant working atmosphere, but also retain employees in the company in the long term.
Why empathy is becoming the most important leadership quality
Empathy is the key to working with Generation Z. This generation attaches great importance to being perceived as an individual. An empathetic manager knows how to recognize the needs of employees and respond to them. This not only strengthens the emotional bond, but also promotes motivation and productivity in the team.
As a manager, you can use the Globe of Emotions to specifically train your empathic skills. It helps you to understand and consciously control emotional reactions - a decisive advantage in an employee-driven world.
Emotional leadership: the path to successful collaboration
Emotional leadership means not ignoring emotions, but actively integrating them into day-to-day management. This is a decisive success factor, especially for Generation Z, which values emotional stability and authenticity. Through emotional sovereignty, you create trust and an atmosphere in which employees feel secure and motivated.
Emotional sovereignty goes beyond emotional intelligence: it enables you to remain calm even in difficult situations and find solutions that work for everyone involved. This makes you a strong, inspiring leader.
