Synopsis

Millennials and GenZs are now the largest cohorts in the workforce, bringing with them a wealth of new ideas, energy, and creativity. However, they also face a significant challenge: a shortage of leadership skills. As a project manager, you may have to manage project teams from Millennials and Generation Z .  These two generations are shaking up the business world, and it’s up to you, as a project manager, to adapt to their expectations and create an environment that motivates and stimulates them.
