Opening Keynote Presentation
The Management Paradox: Navigating the Multi-Generational Workforce
Hamza Khan Future of Work Expert | Author of Leadership, ReinventedOrganizations require management. But can younger generations be managed? And more importantly, in an age of decentralization, connectedness, and resourcefulness, should they be managed? Research by Deloitte predicts that by the year 2025, Generation Y and Generation Z will comprise more than 80% of the modern workforce. But as this contingent grows, so might a misunderstanding and divide between younger and older generations. Now with 4 distinct generations attempting to co-exist in the modern (and increasingly remote) workplace, the need for empathy and intergenerational understanding is more important than ever.Speaking through his own experience of being managed and as well as being a manager, Hamza Khan makes the case that younger generations must be lead, instead of managed. And that a delicate balance between autonomy and structure must be established, to ensure organizational harmony and productivity.
