#CtheFuture
What will a Gen Z CEO look like?
We asked 5,000 ambitious Gen Z’ers who are on a leadership track,
what they believe the future of the C-suite looks like. Here’s what they said:
The pr
Gen Z CEOs will be phenomenal leaders of people,
deft communicators and share a creative streak, say
future leaders.
EO
The generation of CEOs will prioritise
hoing their soft skills over acquiring hard
competencies.
CEOs of 2050 will not all be university qualified, but
rise through the ranks through experiential learning
programmes complemented by online education.
As a cohort, they value
curiosity, learning agility
and adaptability.
Preparing Gen Z to lead, or not?
Gen Z'ers see their strongest skills as curiosity, learning agility adaptability and creativity.
They feel the current education system is not preparing them effectively for project
managment, data driven decision making, negotiation and complex problem solving.
They also feel underprepared on cross-cultural and inter-generational awareness.
