Ep013 - How to Work with Gen Z: Are WE the problem, not Gen Z?

Gen Z now outnumbers Boomers in the workforce. Seventy-two percent of high school students want to be entrepreneurs, and four out of five Gen Zers have brought a parent to a job interview. So, are they the problem? Or have we built workflows so rigid that they are simply the first generation with the nerve to say something about it? In this episode, Barry Marshall, Marcus, and Valerie take a hard look at what is actually going on with Gen Z at work. They dissect the delayed maturity research, the helicopter parenting effect, and why defaulting to positional authority leaves massive productivity on the table. Barry makes the case that explaining the "why" is not a productivity tax; it is an output multiplier. The group challenges leaders to rethink whether Gen Z is entitled, or whether we have simply normalized operational burnout and transactional management for so long that we forgot it is a problem. You will also get four practical takeaways you can implement with your team this week. In this episode: • A young employee showed up to her first 1-on-1 with her mom live in her AirPod • Why "26 is the new 18" changes how leaders must think about authority • The legal and compliance landmines of parents in the workplace • Why Gen Z may be your best AI integration bridge, and how to capture that value • Barry's 11-month stint at a firm where people spent more time planning lunch than executing • The concept of "discretionary impact" and why it dictates team performance If you manage teams or design organizational structures, this one is worth 26 minutes.

EP012 - 69% of CEOs Say AI Will Actually Increase Jobs

Are you just putting lipstick on a pig when it comes to your company's AI strategy? In this episode of the Praxus Project, we dive deep into the latest data on CEO priorities and what it actually takes to achieve real business transformation. A staggering 97% of surveyed CEOs are currently undergoing some form of business transformation. However, only 20% state that AI has significantly exceeded their expectations. We discuss why simply buying chat tool licenses isn't enough. We also explain why you cannot simply automate a broken process.Discussed E&Y Article: https://www.ey.com/en_us/ceo/ceo-outlook-global-reportKey topics covered in this episode:The Reality of AI Transformation: Redefining your business model is crucial instead of just applying AI to what you already do. Adding AI to a broken process simply means you will get bad results faster.The M&A Landscape vs. Building In-House: Currently, 53% of CEOs are planning acquisitions tied to digitalization, productivity, and growth. We debate if buying companies is still the right move when AI drastically lowers the cost to build software in-house. For instance, a software project that stalled for three years was recently coded in just seven hours using AI tools.The Future of Employment: A recent survey shows that 69% of CEOs believe AI investment will maintain or increase employment. Furthermore, only 24% of leaders now expect headcount reductions, a significant drop from last year.Unlocking Creativity and Innovation: Achieving 50% more efficiency with AI isn't about working yourself out of a job. Instead, it allows teams to invest that extra time into surprising and delighting customers with new services.Operational Speed: True confidence for leaders is no longer about predicting the future. It is about having the balance sheet and the operational speed to survive whatever future actually shows up.If you enjoyed this episode, please give us a like and subscribe below!
