Listen "Gen Z, Work Ethic & Finding the Right People"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Michael Van Clarke is joined once again by principal stylist Mitchell Scott for a frank conversation about generational attitudes in hairdressing.From the stereotype of Gen Z being “too flaky” or “too entitled” to the realities of training, recruitment, and running a salon, they explore what it really takes to find, and keep, great people. They discuss the role of upbringing, the importance of structure and discipline, and why being “too nice” as a leader can backfire.With honest reflections on the challenges of mentoring, they reveal the attitudes and behaviours that separate those who thrive in the industry from those who fall away – and why pushing people beyond their comfort zone can unlock their true potential.Follow Michael Van Clarke: @mvanclarkeFollow Mitchell Scott: @mvc_mitchelltscottCredits: Producers: Michael Van Clarke, Louise Ortelli, Louise Oakley & Ben Lifton Editor: Ben Lifton from Big Little Content Production Coordinator: TYX Studios Sound Engineer: TYX Studios
