The Executive Leadership Podcast

Episode 51 | Tim Elmore | Leading the Next Generation: How Today's Leaders Can Unlock the Potential of Gen Z

In this episode of The Executive Leadership Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Tim Elmore, founder and CEO of Growing Leaders and author of The Future Begins with Z, to explore one of the most pressing challenges — and greatest opportunities — facing today’s executives: leading Generation Z. As the age of authority declines and the age of maturity rises, leaders are navigating a new reality. Gen Z employees bring intuition, innovation, and digital fluency — yet often enter the workforce still developing key soft skills and emotional intelligence. With millions of seasoned workers retiring and a smaller generation stepping in to fill the gap, getting this right isn’t optional — it’s essential. Dr. Elmore shares nine practical strategies for engaging, developing, and retaining Gen Z talent, including how to: * Interview and onboard younger employees for long-term success * Deliver firm feedback while protecting fragile confidence * Motivate, mentor, and manage across generations * Equip emerging leaders whose EQ matches their IQ If you’re ready to move from frustration to fascination — and turn generational differences into a competitive advantage — this conversation is for you. The future of leadership begins now… and it begins with Z.

His work grew out of 20 years of serving alongside Dr. John C. Maxwell. Elmore has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, USA Today, Psychology Today, and he’s been featured on CNN’s Headline News, Fox Business, Newsmax TV and Fox and Friends to talk about leading multiple generations in the marketplace.

Episode 50 | Chad Prevost | The Burnout Spiral: And the Personality That Drives It

Welcome to Episode 50! On this episode, I have Chad Prevost [https://www.bigselfschool.com/] on the podcast as we talk about burnout and stress! Yes this is probably something you face as a leader! Burnout isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a reality for millions of us. In this episode, we dive deep into Chad's book Shock Point: The Enneagram in Burnout and Stress [https://a.co/d/79qm55y], a groundbreaking book that moves beyond Enneagram basics and into the heart of why we’re unraveling under pressure. We explore with Chad how our Enneagram type shapes our response to stress—whether we go numb, get anxious, overwork, or shut down—and how recognizing these patterns is the key to reversing burnout. With U.S. workers facing record levels of stress, and real-world consequences like missed work, strained relationships, and mental health decline, understanding ourselves isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Expect practical insights, powerful data, and actionable takeaways for every Enneagram type. Whether you’re a Type 3 pushing past your limits, a Type 6 stuck in worst-case-scenario mode, or a Type 9 avoiding conflict at the cost of your own energy—this episode offers a map for change. It’s not about fixing yourself. It’s about understanding your design—and working with it, not against it. 👉 CONNECT WITH CAMERON: CAMERONSINGH.COM [https://www.cameronsingh.com/] 📚 NEW BOOK: IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU – WHY NEW LEADERS CAN’T AND SHOULDN’T LEAD ALONE [https://linktr.ee/cameronsingh] 🎧 OTHER PODCASTS: DIVINE REVELATIONS UNLEASHED, THE LEADERSHIP DOWNLOAD PODCAST, NAVIGATION AND DISCOVERY WITH CAMERON SINGH [https://linktr.ee/cameronsingh] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
