Growing Tomorrow’s Leaders Today?

It’s a fabulous concept.?Millennials as leaders are getting younger and younger …They need all the support they can get.”?Anne Riches,?The Mindfield Navigator, Sydney

Those in leadership roles will appreciate the importance of nurturing tomorrow’s leaders. Supporting, developing and retaining promising people is a key investment for the future for all organizations, especially now New Zealand has entered the Omicron phase of the Covid pandemic.

The evolution of Covid has created a mental epidemic of anxiety and uncertainty particularly among younger people. Many Millennials, the emerging and future leaders of our organizations and our society are struggling to see a positive personal future and stay on top. They need all the support they can get.

?Covid Burnout, The Great Resignation and The Big Sick

“An employer in 2022 will need to step back and understand how to stay relevant through these changes… or employees will look to leave.”?Bronwyn van der Merwe,?Fjord APAC?

The ongoing AUT?Wellbeing@Work study,?across a diverse range of levels and roles in the New Zealand workforce since the advent of Covid, shows that over 19 months, the risk of burnout increased from one in nine to one in three. Managers need to find timely ways of meeting the challenges faced by employees across the board.

Internationally, skilled employees have been leaving the workforce or switching jobs in droves. As Kate Morgan pointed out in her article on The Great Resignation for many the lack of support by employers has played a big part in why they’re walking away. Millennials feature prominently in those exiting and sometimes just one resignation leads to a domino effect.

There are a number of reasons people are seeking a change. For some workers, the pandemic precipitated a shift in priorities, encouraging them to pursue a ‘dream job’, or transition to being a stay-at-home parent. But for many others, the decision to leave came as a result of the way their employer treated them during the pandemic.

With the growing Omicron Big Sick support needs to be accessible for those forced into Covid isolation as well as those in conventional or hybrid work settings.

Hybrid Future of Work

“If employers don’t get this, they will lose their people and then they have to re-employ,…[ You get] productivity losses, when you lose significant people in your business and you try to re-employ in an employment market like this..." Niki Harré,? Associate Professor of Psychology, Auckland University

Flexible working is by no means new but Covid has accelerated new ways of working which will persist in mutually agreed hybrid arrangements post-pandemic. There is an obvious need to help people to develop the appropriate self-management skills to handle that effectively.

Given the Omicron explosion many large workplaces are now encouraging as many as possible to work from home full-time in the interim to avoid infection or mandated isolation. What is required, apart from the right technology, is mutual trust and more self-management skills rather than physical management oversight. Co=Gen coaching plus supporting resources could be a cost and time effective part of the support and development mix.

Engaging with Millennials

“Each person holds so much power within themselves that needs to be let out.?Sometimes they just need a little nudge, a little direction, a little support, a little coaching, and the greatest things can happen.?Peter Carroll, Football Coach

The ability to engage with Millennials is critical to fostering a future-oriented, inclusive and innovative organization. What matters to Millennials??What motivates them and how have their career paths and travel aspirations been affected by Covid lockdowns and uncertainty??How can they achieve a better life balance??Understanding and engaging with them through the power of coaching will improve what employers want: talent retention and productivity.

Leadership begins within with new behaviours

“On average, it takes between 8?to 12 weeks for behaviour to become ingrained...”? Maryam Meddin, The Soke, a London behavioural health clinic

Starting 22 March the first Co=Gen Coaching ?module Focus on Your Future?features 5 x weekly 90 minute small group Zoom sessions on Goal-Setting and Time Management.?These comprise stimulating inputs, breakout conversations and takeaway digital resources, reinforced by small group coaching.?This life-changing module can be a one-off or the start of an ongoing series.
