Gen Z is often misunderstood as lacking a work ethic, but the truth is they're simply uninspired by the traditional corporate landscape. To motivate this generation, we need to encourage their unique perspectives and values, rather than ridiculing their disinterest in middle management jobs. By embracing their entrepreneurial spirit and desire for purpose-driven work, we can create a more inclusive and innovative work environment that benefits everyone. This shift in mindset can help bridge the gap between Gen Z's expectations and the current state of corporate culture, ultimately leading to increased job satisfaction and productivity. Key factors include corporate social responsibility, work-life balance, and career development.
