Financial Times: Zumers do not want to become medium -sized managers

According to the survey, 57% of US “zuments” do not want to occupy such positions. 67% of respondents said this work is “too stressful” and there were few returns from it. Previously, without going through this work, it would not be possible to advance more along the professional staircase, but young people are not ready to sacrifice for success at work. They prefer an individual professional career and the preservation of a free schedule. In addition, they want to observe the balance between work and personal life, clarifies the newspaper.

The new trend pushes the workers of the ZEGE independent or get to work with horizontal control structures that provide more autonomy. That is, they are ready to take more tasks for development, but avoid the work where you need to manage someone.

According to the publication, this can force the corporation to rethink management structures. Now the central manager is often perceived negatively, his image is closer to the bureaucrat than of the professional manager. As a result, young people do not perceive people as a role -playing model that should imitate. Many of them do not even know how to instruct, inspire and involve employees at work, said Anne Frank, executive director of Charted Management Institute. Therefore, to solve the problem, you will have to start with the resentment of the authorities, says the expert.
