Gen Z is entering the workforce with bold expectations: purpose-driven roles, empathy from leaders, and a voice in shaping culture. At the same time, AI is disrupting traditional entry-level jobs, leaving many young workers questioning their place in the future of work.

In this episode of The New Terrain, Anique Coffee and Leah Zalinski of Gather + Grow join Rebekah Clark of Beautiful Soup to explore how leaders can adapt to meet this generational shift.

Together, they unpack:

• Why purpose is a non-negotiable for Gen Z
• How to move beyond fear-based, command-and-control leadership models
• Practical steps for creating meaningful, sustainable roles in the AI era
• How to foster empathy, collaboration, and curiosity across five generations in the workplace

If you want to engage and empower Gen Z while building resilient, purpose-led teams, this conversation offers both perspective and practical tools.
