Generation Z are those who have born in early 21st century. This generation are influenced more by the digital technology, internet and social media.

The Gen-Z team members are a good value addition to the team as they can get you some fresh thoughts. On the other hand, managing them is a pain for few managers.

The reason for this is, Gen-Z are not aligned to the usual corporate way of doing things. They are easily influenced by what happens in social media or get pressurised due to peers.

In majority of cases, Gen-Z need not be managed. They are not motivated with opportunities in work. They might be motivated with other things which are influenced by other factors.

In this blog, I will share my views and suggestions while managing Gen-Z team members.

Reality check

Generation Z do not think in the same way the previous generations think. The cause for this is huge influence of social media.

First, it is important to understand Gen-Z mindset; only then you can curate your management skills for them.

  • They have lot of peer pressure.
