Our guest for this Episode is Ellen Raim,  author of the book “Play the Game: Insider Strategies to Thrive in Your Early Career Without Compromising Ambition, Values or Wellbeing.  She is the Principle of People Matter, where she advises young professionals entering or having recently entered the workforce.  Ellen was previously a C-suite HR Executive and her background is in law, behavioral economics and organizational design.

Ellen tells how advising her Gen Z daughter led to interest from her daughter’s friends and how eventually she realized there was a need for specialists in this area. 

We learn a lot about why this Generation Gap is getting so much attention.  Why is the gap between today’s young professionals and the organizations they are hiring into so different?  It has to do with how we are all raised, it turns out there have been really big differences in raising children these last 25 years.  When you empathize with these differences, Gen  Z behaviors make a lot more sense.

Ellen provides excellent advice (much of it from her book) on how young professionals need to approach getting a job that will really light them up.  She also helps us all understand what it is going to take for us all to bridge this current generation gap.

Equally important, Ellen has advice for the leaders of today’s organizations.  In a nutshell, they are missing an opportunity if they fail to invest in making sure this incoming generation of workers can thrive in their organizations.
