A new paradigm

The workplace is now more age-diverse than ever, with five generations - Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, Generation Z, and Alpha - working side by side. This age diversity among employees can be both a blessing and a challenge. Young people entering the workplace bring a different mindset and language, and they openly discuss their needs. In Denmark, 50% of Generation Z identify as neurodivergent, necessitating structural changes in society, including how educational institutions are run and how people work. And I think that leadership development training should focus more on emotional intelligence rather than just technical skills.
