Not Waiting Around: How Business Leaders And Gen Z Can Co-Create a Brighter Future At Work And Beyond

By Toni McKee

What if the generation we're trying to manage holds the key to solving our biggest challenges - in business and in society?

Gen Z is not waiting for permission. Shaped by crisis since coming of age, this generation has built strength, resilience, and leadership qualities that businesses urgently need: systems thinking, bold vision, community building, creative communication, and simply refusing to accept the status quo.

These qualities, when harnessed through real intergenerational collaboration, can give businesses a competitive edge - and ripple out into our communities to breathe new life into democracy.

Gen Z sees this. And they are ready to lead the way.

In this book, you will find:

Profiles of trailblazing young leaders from around the worldA practical framework for moving from consultation to genuine co-creation with young leadersInspiration and expertise from the World Bank, The Adecco Group, One Young World, and People MadeThe business case for intergenerational collaboration - and its surprising democratic dividendConcrete tools, including discussion frameworks, leadership diagnostics, and exclusive workshop guides available free to readers

Not Waiting Around shows what genuine collaboration looks like - and how to build it.

The stakes are high. The leaders are here. Are we ready to empower them?
