The Tuesday Club: Leading the New Majority

Leading the New Majority: Empowering & Engaging Gen Zs and Millennials in Today’s Workplace

Gen Zs and Millennials now form the new majority of the workforce, reshaping expectations around leadership, communication, and work culture. Yet many leaders still struggle to meaningfully connect with them.

In this MGCC Tuesday Club session, Shawn D’Cotta, Head of Office for Cegos Asia Pacific, will unpack the real leadership shifts required to engage younger generations, moving past trends and stereotypes toward practical, influence-based leadership.

Designed for business leaders, HR professionals and people managers, this interactive session offers actionable insights on what younger talent truly value, why traditional leadership approaches fall short, and how leaders can build trust and performance across generations.

The 3 Shifts to Lead Gen Zs & Millennials

1. From Control → Purpose

Younger talent resonates with meaning, impact, and contribution—not micromanagement.

2. From Authority → Autonomy

Modern engagement comes from ownership and trust, not titles or supervision.

3. From Hierarchy → Inclusion

Gen Zs and Millennials expect a voice. Inclusion drives commitment and innovation.
