Key insights from an interesting read from McKinsey blog: 🚨 It's not Gen Z's "unrealistic expectations" - it's 30+ year old workplace systems that need updating 💼 Gen Z wants career progression every 1-2 years, but most companies still use outdated hierarchical models from decades ago 🤖 AI won't eliminate entry-level jobs - instead it will create more hands-on apprenticeship opportunities vs. independent work structures 📈 Traditional ladder promotions becoming impossible as organizations flatten → companies must shift to skills-based credentials & digital badges 👥 Effective mentorship = "contact sport" requiring hands-on coaching from managers, peers & project leaders (not just annual reviews) ⚡ High Gen Z turnover today = future leadership crisis in 10 years → competitive disadvantage as culture carriers & innovators leave 🔄 As AI automates routine tasks → work becomes more dynamic, team-based & requires higher-order cognitive skills 🎮 Smart solution: Gamify career advancement with skill badges every 6-18 months + corresponding pay increases ⏰ Well-designed workdays balance individual energy patterns with team collaboration needs (not one-size-fits-all 9-5) 🧠 Workers need new types of mental breaks as AI eliminates routine "autopilot" tasks that previously provided natural rest periods Read full article here: https://lnkd.in/gVQZABD4 #GenZ #FutureOfWork #WorkplaceEvolution #mckinsey

Who lit your path? ☀ Guru Purnima is an annual festival in Hindu and Buddhist traditions honoring mentors in life. It's a day to express gratitude to who guide our personal and professional growth. Who kindled your inner flame? For me, five mentors stand out. Each unique, all transformative. 1. Rana Kundu : Taught me the importance of empathy and creating wonderful human experience in the corporate world. He taught me to see the big picture, connect the dots, be spontaneous and be comfortable with ambiguity. In essence, he laid the foundation for all my future roles, shaping my approach to leadership and human interaction in the business realm. 2.Gauranga De : Went beyond his position to spot potential in team members (way junior to him) like me , creating stages and platforms for them to shine and selflessly see them grow to newer heights. That act had a profound impact on me that I started enjoying becoming more selfless in all my future leadership roles, genuinely finding joy in seeing others growth. 3. Surendu Korgaokar : Powerhouse of positivity. Every word and every interaction simply inspired and pushed me higher, beyond my limits. Always kept connecting me to the right people to catalyse my growth. His consistency in doing this always inspired me. 4. Dr Robert Winter When I landed in Australia, I was fortunate to begin my career under his leadership.  Robert cared deeply, encouraging innovation with complete freedom when I managed projects. His presence always radiated positivity in us. His approach was very unique combining intellectual depth with genuine empathy. And his writings? ✍Pure, wisdom. 5. My Spiritual Gurus ( untaggable in Linkedin 😊 ) Who helped me forget external Google - I learned to search my inner search engine for answers, where the loading time is faster and the results are ad-free! 😊 Thanks for gifting me with a swiss army knife like tool to tap into consciousness. I learned switch to a beyond-mind state effortlessly in various situations and witness my own thoughts. . What connects these wonderful beings ? - I reflected today. Deep empathy. It's woven into their very being, shaping every interaction, every lesson. ******************************* As we celebrate Guru Purnima, let's honor those who nurtured us in our career path. Who shaped your journey? Whose wisdom guides you still? Share their impact. In doing so, we celebrate a timeless tradition: knowledge passed down, lives touched, souls inspired.
