Listen "Sparks: Does Age Matter? What Really Shapes Career Mindsets and How to Build Employees from Different Generations"

Episode Synopsis

Are multiple generations in the workplace really as different as we think? Or is work ethic the real issue we should be talking about? In today’s Leadership Spark, we challenge the idea that generational differences define work habits. Instead, we explore why life stages and experiences—not age—shape how people approach work, and how social media trends like "lazy girl jobs" are promoting toxic career mindsets. We also break down why work ethic seems to be declining, what companies should expect from employees, and how leaders can balance vulnerability with accountability to build stronger teams. If you want to understand what’s really happening in today’s workplace, this episode is for you.   ________________ Start your day with the world’s top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.
