About the Book

Dive into the Whats and the Whys of the book

How Organisations Can Use This Book

Leaders who’ve previewed the material are planning to use it in three ways:

1. Leadership Conversations

   • Assign one chapter before a leadership meet.

   • Use the questions at the end as discussion prompts.

2. Manager Training & HR Programs

   • Integrate key debates into new-manager programs, especially for people managing Gen Z-heavy teams.

3. Gen Z Roundtables

   • Give the book to your young talent.

   • Invite them to react, disagree and co-create your “Gen Z compact” for the company.

If you’re serious about moving from “us vs. them” to a shared playbook, this book is designed as a working tool, not just a bookshelf trophy.

Ready to Reboot Your Corporate Script?

If you recognise any of these in your world:

• Rising attrition among under-30 employees

• Endless talk about “culture” with no shift on the ground

• Managers exhausted from managing expectations from both above and below

• Gen Z talent frustrated, bored, or already halfway out the door

…then it’s time to change the conversation, not just the policy document.

Gen Z & The Corporate Reboot gives you a practical way to do that.

If You’re Leading Teams Today

Whether you’re in IT, manufacturing, banking, aviation, start-ups or public sector, one reality is common: your execution engine increasingly runs on Gen Z.

This book will help you:

• Understand why they walk out even when pay and perks look fine on paper.

• Craft roles and projects that feel like platforms, not cages.

• Use your experience as a leader without hiding behind hierarchy.

• Build a team culture where disagreement doesn’t feel like disloyalty.

Use it as:

• Pre-reading for your leadership offsite

• A common text for manager development programs

• A discussion toolkit in town-halls and skip-level meetings

If You’re Gen Z (or Gen Z at Heart)

This book isn’t written to lecture you.

You’ll find:

• Managers openly admitting where they’ve been unfair or blind to change.

• Honest discussion on what organisations can and cannot realistically give you.

• Practical advice on how to:

  • Negotiate growth and flexibility

  • Handle “old school” bosses

  • Build a career that supports your ambitions and your mental health

You’ll also see the other side: why your manager worries about risk, compliance, and headcount in ways that don’t show up on Instagram.

If you want to play the long game without losing your edge, this perspective matters.
