Episode notes
June brings in the season for commencement speeches with advice for graduating classes. However, we feel this year a commencement speech is required for leaders! This episode is our take on this speech for leaders. This special class went through unprecedented times in history during their years in college/university. They began their journey at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. They are entering the world of work in a disarray where their expectations from leaders conflict with expectations of leaders from them. The trust deficit between leaders and junior talent already is an epidemic. Gallup indicates we are at a 11 year low in engagement and rise in disengagement. CEO’s indicate managing this mismatch of expectations as their biggest challenge. In this episode, we discuss What’s the deal with the class of 2024 and why leaders need to pay attention to stay relevant for the future What are insights for leaders from our personal career journeys that also started when the world was full of disarray.
