What does it really take to lead Gen Z employees—and what do they want from their managers?


In this special crossover episode, Diversity: Beyond the Checkbox host Jackie Ferguson and High Octane Leadership host Donald Thompson, multi-exit, entrepreneur and award-winning CEO, have an honest, no-nonsense conversation about bridging the generational gap at work.

🎙 You’ll learn:


  • Why Gen Z values transparency, vulnerability, and purpose over hierarchy
